This site has it all. I found it to be a very useful resource when trying to restyle my recipe. It has both, HTML and CSS information. Check it out when you can.
I had a lot of fun with revamping the look of my recipe page. I added a background image, jazzed up fonts & colors, had some fun with my bullets and even figured out how to add blinking text! One of the sites I got from CSS Zen Garden's CSS Resource Guide (listed as Web Developer's Handbook, which I will also bookmark) was a huge help. Enjoy!
This is a great website for accessing video tutorials for just about any aspect of web design. The video screencasts are great quality and easy to follow along. #47 is a CSS Shorthand video that most people in the class will find helpful.
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).
I updated my three page Web site to include a horizontal menu bar. I'm still trying to work on the spacing and not having the pictures overlap. It's trickier than I thought!
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.
Missed closing the "header" div (that is, you're missing the closing bracket). Haven't tested to see whether it renders in browsers other than Firefox, but need to be careful of such issues. Good job here.
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.
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.
This is a more advanced tutorial on using Ajax and PHP to extract a list from a MySql database that can be done in a way that an ordered list can't provide. After you've created the database, you use PHP and Ajax to drag and drop data in the order you want it extracted, then you can save the data in this newly-defined order.
