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.
