Now that you know the basic document structure, it's time to start writing out the web page. For this lesson, we're going to use the page you see this on as a finished product. First of all, there are a few terms you want to know:
- Block level element: an element that takes up a block of space, think of it as a section of the page with a carriage return above and below it.
- Inline element: an element that is "in line" with other elements. It flows with the document
- Tag: a tag is an element that defines an area of text or another page element.
- Attribute: something inside a tag to allow the tag to do something or to change what it does.
To start your page, you want to plan it out on paper. Specific techniques for that won't be discussed here, so do it however you want. once you have a plan, it's time to start writing it out. (I'm assuming your finished product is going to look like this page)
