Blog #2: If I were to teach what I learned in the first two days to another student, what would your instructions look like?

Well, to start off with my teaching I would firstly go into one of the three elements a basic website is made out of which is the HTML. To first start off my learning, I would first teach them what that cool acronym was short for, which is Hyper Text Markup Language to get square one check off. With that , I would go about starting off HTML and the basics of it. To start off the HTML, you would first have to type on the first line <!DOCTYPE html>. Then, before beginning anything else, We would get into a quick understanding of tags and how to open a tag(<>), what to put inside them, and how to close them(</>). But, to start off with the webpage we would the <html> to contain all the content in creation with the document, webpage with the attribute tag(<a>). Since you just can’t add the attribute tag, you would need to add something extra to it which is the insertion of href= “url-here.com”. this would be the URL on where you would like the user to go. This could be your webpage, a Wikipedia webpage, and a lot of stuff. I would also add in the type= “_blank” that would open the page in a new tab. After that, a quick explanation on how to create list using the two of it which is unordered list(<ul>) and ordered list(<ol>). A unordered list would add bullet points to the content in the list while a ordered list would order the contents with numbers instead of bullets. to add contents to the list, you would have to add another tag called list item <li> in between the tags of <ul> or <ol>. Finally, after all that, I would teach him the coolest lesson I learned in the past two days we’ve been there, which is the image tag(<img>). I would quickly say though that this is a self-closing tag which has no opening but closes on creation after adding the / at the end of the tag. Into getting that, to add a image, you would first need the source(src) of the image, which is the URL or the location of where the image is at. Then to add to it, also adding the alternative attribute(alt) to add a caption onto what the image looks like, which, for the visually impaired, helps out on reading the webpage. So in the end, the tag would look something like this:
<img src= “some-image” alt= “image description” />
So to end it all off, this is what I would teach to another student on the things I learned in the first two days I’ve been in the class.
