The first step in coding the page is to have all the sections divided off. this page has three main sections. We'll name them "heading" "left" and "right." Now, to put them in, we make three divisions:
<div id="heading">
</div>
<div id="right">
</div>
<div id="left">
</div>
Normally, the left would go before the right as the left side is the navigation (on the left), but we want to make this page accessable to screen readers (programs that speak a web page), so they don't have to read through the navigation every time they visit a page. Also, cell phone browsers and other small screen browsers will display the navigation on the bottom instead of the top, saving the reader a lot of time by allowing them to find what they need when they're most likely to need it.
For now, these divisions contain nothing, so your page is going to be blank. This will be fixed in the next lesson.
