Lab 3 Hyperlinks Image and Text

         In lab 3 we used Textedit to write our HTML code. The requirement of this lab was to learn how to add background color to our HTML website, add color to our text, and to figure out how to add in hyperlinks into our page. This was the time when we had to work independently and discover things on our own by using the website w3shoools. In order to put our knowledge and practice to work we were instructed to take a screenshot of the w3schools website, Mrs.Ramirez website, and my blogger. We had to take a screenshot of these websites because we had to include them into our webpage. Not only did we have to insert images into our html but hyperlinks as will. We had to add hyperlinks as a text and add a hyperlink to the images.The important thing when adding hyperlinks into your HTML code is that you must use the tag <a href. If you want to add a hyperlink to one of your images the  tag <a href must be added right before the image you inserted  because this will allow the computer to understand that you want to add a hyperlink to a specific image. If you want to add a hyperlink as a text you would right the tag <a href first and then type in the text. You must remember to close the tag with </a> with using <a href or else the hyperlink will not work.
        In this lab, we developed many skills. This was one of the labs I enjoyed the most because we were able to add color to the pages background. When adding color it gives it a better appearance because for lab 1 and lab 2 the backgrounds were white. Thus, not captivating a persons attention as much. When starting the lab I was scared that learning html on my own will be very troublesome, especially if we have to add in hyperlinks. However, the website w3schools is very useful because it allows you to practice. Everything was pretty easy but there was a point where I got stuck on how to add a hyperlink to the images. I was going to ask for help but then I told myself that I must keep trying. What I found most fascinating about this lab was learning how to use the images as hyperlinks. Before learning about html, I wondered how people were able to do that. But now that I know how to use an image as a hyperlink, it is so fascinating. I had to try various times but I was able to do it at last. Overall, I enjoyed doing this lab because I did things I never imagined doing before and without the help of anyone. Learning on your own is not so bad after all. This lab taught me that there would be times were we must learn on our own and that should not stop us from accomplishing things or thinking about giving up.

                                  

What do FileZilla, CoreFtp, and Cyberduck have in common?

     An FTP its a standard network protocol; used to transfer computer files between a client and a server on a computer network. Three types of FTP's are FileZilla, CoreFtp, and Cyberduck. FileZilla is a free software, cross platform FTP application consisting of FileZilla client and FileZilla server. Core FTP is a secure FTP client for windows developed by CoreFTP.com. Cyberduck is an open source client for FTP and SFTP, WebDAV, OpenStack Swift, and Amazon S3. These three operating systems the clients can run on Windows and Amiga OS, and can copy files over 2 GB.

Lab 2 Reflection Journal

     For lab 2 we used the text edit application again. In this lab we developed our HTML skills a bit more by learning how to center text and how to add an image into an HTML page. Lab number one allowed us to understand this lab better because we already knew how to do the header, headings, and the paragraphs. In order to insert an image into HTML we must use the tag <img src. However, after typing <img src, you must type in the name of the image you want to insert. (i.e me.jpg). After doing this you close the tag and you must indicate the images height and width. You can pick any measurements, they just have to keep the image proportional. As a result you would get , <img src="me.jpg> width=" 350" height="700".  This lab allowed us to develop our HTML skills as well as to think about our new goals for digital design. The goals we developed will help us throughout the year because these are goals we wish will help us grow as an individual in the year of Digital Design. 

Html Code

Lab 1 Reflection Journal

       For our first lab we used text edit to create our first HTML. Our first homework allowed us to understand and complete this lab because in order to make an HTML we must know the tags that browsers will understand. This was a very exciting lab because I have never done an HTML page before and this was the first time I have ever written something. Within writing our first HTML we had to write who we are and what we thought HTML was. But most importantly we had to write why web design is important to us. At first when I heard we were going to do HTML, I got nervous because this was going to be the first time being introduced to HTML and I was afraid I may not understand. However, as a result this lab was easy to do, but its just the beginning. This lab allowed me to see that I am going to deepen my knowledge and learn to have patience when writing code. Hopefully in the future we will learn how to add color to the font and the background page to make the website look more attractive. The key is to never give up and to not be afraid to try out new things. 

Html Code

What is HTML?

        HTML is a a computer language that allows individuals to create pages. When using HTML we must use tags that will allow the browser to understand what we are trying to say. You can out tags within other tags. This is a code that will allow computers to understand without any problem. However, we must make sure we write the code correctly or else the computer will not fully understand. HTML has tags that are abbreviations of things that will make it easier to code.
