A quick reference list for HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 tags.

A nice list of tags for HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0. This is for those times you don't want to wade through a lesson and just need to check something quick.

For those who have not picked an FTP client yet, this seems like a solid option. It's free, so that's a start! I had troubles with FileZilla because it said I needed Mac OS X 10.5 or newer and I'm on 10.4.

FireFTP is an add-on for Firefox. It's the FPT client I'm going to use for this class. This bookmark has an FAQ for installing and using the client, which like I said before, I really need because I've never done this before.

Fixed the webprog-1-a tag.

A review of the NearlyFreeSpeech server, and general explanation of the fee structure. All servers are NOT alike in how they handle fees and services, so this may be of interest to you.

I like Engine Yard because they specialize in Rails Hosting. I also love the cloud concept :-)

Something tells me someone who prioritizes Rails hosting really is not in need of this course ;).

Download a .pdf of a CSS Cheat Sheet that looks very much like the one Alex is seen using in his Module 2 CSS lectures. Could it be? :) There are other Cheat Sheets on the site as well.

WebMonkey is a site offering tutorials on servers, html, php and pretty much anything web related.

Introduction to using the "console" in firebug to help debug Javascript.

I am a Mac guy and I use this service for my work. they are Mac based so I do not have to think about anything too complicated :-)

Hi Dr. Halavais. How do I get a web host? I'm having trouble seeing if I have one.

I have a couple questions. They are highlighted within the sticky notes in the text regarding downloading problems also: When downloading Notepad++ do I need both the binary and the source files? When I attempted to download Jing I received the following error message: The NTVDM CPU has encountered illegal instruction. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to get around it?

Questions about web-view using TextWrangler

This is all new to me, so I'd like to share this FAQ I found while setting up an Angelfire account. Found it helpful.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a fast, easy, and reliable way to move an entire Web site from one location onto Angelfire's servers. FTP is also a useful when moving individual files that you've built on your machine over to your Angelfire member directory. You can also back up a copy of your Angelfire site on your personal machine with FTP. The possibilities are endless! Follow the simple directions below to have your site up and running on Angelfire in no time.

Added the webprog-1-a tag for you. Be careful on that.

This is just an example of one of the many pages on the w3schools.com page. I used this site in my 512 class last semester all the time and it is extremly helpful in helping to get all the little aspects of coding. Plus it gives the example code that you can copy and then mess around with to get the hang of it.

Pat: be sure to include the tag from the assignment. In this case, it's webprog-1-a, and I added it for you.

Webdesignwall.com is a tutorial page for using CSS. It also offers tutorials on many web design software tools, as well as common design mistakes.

An old school classic for the recipe challenge - Chicken Kiev. Don't see this one around much anymore...

Here is my recipe page! Hope you enjoy it! You should try it at your next dinner party, it's quick, easy and delicious!

I've changed the tag here to webprog-1-f. Be sure to tag to the correct assignment or I might miss something :).

Also, it's not a show stopper for this assignment, but be sure to remember to close your head section.

I am happy to see the 25 things :). However, you need to save the file as plain text. Microsoft Word is probably not the best place to edit HTML, but if you do, you need to make sure you save it as plain text, and not as HTML.

When I view my recipe page on the desktop the image and links work fine. But when I publish it to the internet, the link for the image works but the image does not show up. I followed the steps meticulously and cannot figure out what has happened. Can you let me know what I missed?

Hopefully I already answered this, but in case not: *Everything* for the site has to get uploaded to the server. So, if you are including an image, the image also has to go up to the server. Next week, when we do style sheets, the style sheet has to go up to the server. Since it's a whole 'nother computer, you need to make sure all the pieces that make up your page/site make it up.

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.

Getting columnated is a little tricky for beginners like myself. In lecture 2-3: Columnated, I added a comment with a link to a site that lays out the fundamentals of the language used. I think this would be especially helpful to someone who aspires to be a web producer because a producer needs to speak in html and css language. The link is http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/definitions.htm

There is a comment and link on the third video, second module for challenge 2-b. It may be found at 1:24. Thanks.

Made a few comments regarding photoshop and other aspects to the 2-column layout. Long lecture, but helpful in understanding the layout neccessities.

This is the section of lecture 2-2: Text Mess that I added a comment to. I hope you will check out the link I added if you are interested in how you can incorporate what you know about design aesthetics to what you are learning about CSS.

I added a comment on video 2-2 re: the div tag.

Question on video at around 23:30: While different browsers don't all support the same features, will they at least support basics like flow and positioning in like fashion? I recently had a heck of a time with a positioning difference between Firefox and IE, and I still wonder if it was my code, or the way IE dealt with it.
