My understanding is: do as many assignments as you want, or think you need to do. As for points, doing enough assignments correctly to total 100 points per module will get you an A-. An A- will be upgraded to an A if you show consistent creativity. Only those with an A- qualify for the "Creativity Upgrade". A grade of B won't do it. If I explained anything incorrectly, someone please correct me. My own take on it? Learn code because you really want to learn code, show effort, and try to have some fun with it. :)

For anybody who has Celiac's Disease (or just wants to go gluten-free): Here is a recipe for GF pizza crust. It's a bit long, but it bakes and it should conform to the 1-f standards. Have fun.

Looks good. A couple of notes: bgcolor (in the body tag) should be all one word if you use it, though we'll be doing CSS which gives you more flexibility. Also, you make heavy use of br. BR has a specific place, and what you really should be doing is wrapping each of those paragraphs in p tags. That will make life much easier when it comes to validating your code.

Do I have to have a fancy HTML editor? No; matter of fact, you can instantly create your own HTML page just by using your favorite text editor (such as "Notepad" in Windows).

Another great beginner's intro to the world of CSS mainly because it provides just as many examples as it does explanations. In addition, it encourages you to try out the code as you go along rather than simply expect to learn by osmosis (which is pretty much impossible with this subject anyway).

Another great tutorial given by w3schools.com. This tutorial walks you through from the most basic steps, but it also explains very in depth material as well.

This page is just a basic intro/course description for an HTML class taught at UC Berkeley. It's really just a few sentences, but it's one of those short on words/long on meaning pieces of text that I admire because it gets to the meat of what HTML is all about in a very intelligent way. What struck me, though, was the line that states: "... it's valuable to know HTML even if your day job involves working with a content management system... " I work with a CMS all day! As I've mentioned before, I work for CNN.com and mainly produce interactive features and such, yet I know shockingly little about them there Internets! This course will hopefully help me bridge that gap between the material I am comfortable with, and that which intimidates me.

This site is basically a brief introduction to me, Ellise. Nothing complex or fancy, just wanted to use some basic and tags as well as link in the site, and out of the site.

Yeah, not trying to go for the triple-points score is a good call :). Nice site.

Hello everyone! This is a recipe I found on www.allrecipes.com. I love flan but I haven't personally used this recipe. In creating this page I found some tags on www.w3schools.com that were useful. I'll try to spice this page up more but for now here it is.

This site simplified my webpage and asked me to take out certain tags. After doing so, the page was still readable however, XHTML approved.

I have published a page that is up to XHTML standard. I used my recipe for peach daquiris for this validator service. I had nine errors when I first typed it in and after following the directions I was told that my document was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 transitional.

This is a short little video comparing the difference between HTML and CSS to the difference of black/white or color photographs. The pictures are from a vacation to Sanibel Island, Florida and the West River in Guilford, CT.

Hello! I decided to do my 3 (well 4) page assignment on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I included a brief history as well as some of my favorite spots to visit. I was able to include a nav bar on the home page and used the colors found in the coat of arms. I'd like to try a tabbed nav bar however.

Here is my updated recipe page; CSS version. This new one has a gray background for the main page and white to make the actual recipe stand out. The main title stands out against the other headers by color and size. All headers are in a sans-serif font while body text is a serif. Also, the links have a rollover feature and are a differnt color than the body text.

This is my recipe for module 1-f. I'm not sure why the image doesn't show up in the browser, but it has an active link to the Flickr page the picture was found on.

New and improved CSS version. Also found a menu bar template, fiddled with it a bit, and made comments as part of understanding how it works. Attempting to satisfy webprog-2-d and webprog-2-f.

Very nice! If you stick the code for the menu bar *inside* the "wrap" div, I have a feeling it will work out better. Right now, when you maximize on a big screen, the menu goes a bit wonky. (Don't need to fix for the purposes of this assignment, but just so you know.)

Thank you! I've been going a little nuts with a few things. :) The menu bar was easy to place in Firefox, but wouldn't position properly at all in IE. I managed to do some fudging, but don't like the result, as I later gave up margins:auto to pin things down. After all that, the two browser renditions still look a little different. Much to learn.

A staple of the raw food diet. Looks green, tastes good!

So, great page. But :)... Tables for layout is bad news. There's no way to predict how it will be viewed on some devices, and it makes it harder (in some cases) to be spooned into a CMS. So, fine for now, but lose the <table> habit for anything other than tables as we move forward. (In this case, floating the image to the left would accomplish the same effect, but provide a liquid layout...)

After an afternoon of attempting to figure out CSS, I think I've got a basic understanding. I think the (Oprah) aha! moment happened. I used the site/page I created in the first set of challenges to create this navigation bar. The bar also features a rollover.

A very minor error in the Viddler video.

This should take you to the comment I made on the Viddler timeline.

btw, I am commenting as "barackberry" (I had problems with my original login)

Question about calling in multiple stylesheets at 10:21 on the timeline.

Here is my syllabus question.

In case I haven't answered elsewhere. You can do as many of the challenges as you like. Take a look over the syllabus for information as to how completion is related to grades. And yes, in response to the first time around, I've provided a longer deadline, for more flexibility. Generally, the work is due within one week after the module is scheduled. And yes, I use Diigo to find everything you've done--so if you want me to see it, make sure you bookmark it and let me know what you want it to count for (e.g., webprog-1-b, like this one).

This recipe is a summer tradition at my in-laws' beach house. Lucky for wife...

Well done.
