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.
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.
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.
When attempting to download Jing I received the following error message:
16 bit MS-DOS subsystem; The NTVDM CPU has encountered illegal instruction.
Can anyone tell me what this means and how to get around it?
:/ beats me. All I can find on the web is "try the application again." It may just not like your system for some reason.
There are some other free screen recorders out there, but I haven't had a lot of experience with them, unfortunately.
Is there a way to view the text you are working with in Text Wrangler as if it was on the web? I know you can with Text Edit on the Mac? I guess I don't see the value of TextWrangler, yet...
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:

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.
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.
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
I found that the "margin: auto;" tag does not work in IE7. I looked for a work around, but it appears that inline styles may be the only way. Thanks Microsoft. :-)
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.
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.
My recommendation is the one I suggest here: NearlyFreeSpeech. It's a new host to me, but comes recommended, and does everything we need it to.
I use Dreamhost for this (and most of my) sites. It's a solid host--and works pretty well. I'm not sure I love it, but moving costs (in time) are too high for me to choose to go elsewhere...
