This session is about HTML; coding
Hype text marker mark up language
HTML TABS; it tells the computer what they are doing
<head> where anything goes that is not part of the design of the website, anything that makes the website function or can be searched in google.
<body> anything written between the open and close body tab is the design of the page, anything that is visible on the webpage
<title> open title, not actually visible in the design of it, it is just the title of the page
<html> open html
<\head>
<\body>
<\html> - means its finished html
<\title> - closed title,
The order;
<html> - open html
<head> open head - the function of website
<title> - open title (web link)
<\title> - close title
<body> - open body, design of website
<\body> - close body
<\html> - close html

CREATING A WEBSITE
Create a folder, all lower case, no spaces etc, then a route folder for images - everything should go into this
DREAMWEAVER
Need to tell dreamweaver where our route and sub folder is
Then click the little file icon and then click your route file
FILE SAVE - straight into your route file
The first page has to be called INDEX.html - the website will NOT work if there isn't not an index page
This is the index page - untitled document
Typing in some content
At the moment it is all default settings, font, aligment etc
Coding for colours
CREATING A CSS
File, save - it will automatically take into route folder
Totally different language from HTML
FONT
Type into body
have a space then shift {
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CLOSE EACH ATTRIBUTE WITH ; otherwise it wont work
hashtag is SHIFT 3
USING PHOTOSHOP
Creating buttons
To add in the text just type into the tabs on dreamweaver
