Mark Up Your World with HTML

HTML isn't scary or hard to learn. In fact it's really easy. In this challenge you're going to realise that you already know quite a bit of HTML, but you're just not aware that you do.

Think of the word 'Cat' - what is it you see in your mind? A boat, pancake or a cat? This is the skill you're going to develop in this task, only you're going to apply it to learning HTML. You're going to need some means of taking digital photographs and the confidence to take pictures outside. This challenge has three tasks and should take just over an hour to complete. It's best done as a nice leisurely walk around the area that you live in on a fine day.

Start Challenge View Tasks

Blog Your Photographs

Showcase your photographs in a creative way

You should spend at least fifteen minutes putting a blog post together that showcases your photographs. For each of the photographs write a sentence or two about how and why the photograph you've taken relates to the tag. Be creative with your post and add sketches, sound or even a storyline to your photographs to support your ideas.

When your post is published and you've posted a link to it on the challenge discussion board, spend the rest of the hour checking out the work of your peers. Do you agree with their interpretation of the tags? Make sure to leave your comments on the challenge discussion board.

Good post, the only suggestion I have is rotating the orderd list: dvd photo and also inserting list item <li> tags next to the dvd's and inserting <li> list items in your unordered list. Some peers will also probably give you a better view if you put the source in the img tag, like <img source="xxx.jpg"> After that is done, you should submit your work for the HTML Basics badge. Good Luck!

Really nice job on the pics you used and tags to identify them. LOVE that you have Fisher Price Classic Baby album :) Is there a way to leave comments on your site without registering?

WebDevRobert said:

Thanks for the awesome comments. Yes, I have a Fisher Price Classic Baby album, well it's my son's, actually ;-)

Thanks for asking about the comments... My website has such a wide range of topics, bringing in a wide range of traffic, I get a ton of spam. A person can register, or use Facebook, Google or OpenID accounts to leave comments, though!
