Hi Everyone
Took me longer to work out how to upload photos than it did to do the task. I found GThumb and Gimp. Also found the filters in Gimp :)
The results are here :-
This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
This task is going to introduce you to writing a basic html document. But you'll do it on paper, using a pen, for fifteen minutes. Think of this challenge as the Webmaking 101 equivalent of wax on, wax off (from the original Karate Kid film).

Here's mine ;)
Couple of questions.
1. Do you need a line space between body and h1?
2. Are head and body tags meant to align with one another? Does that matter?
I was going to answer this on your blog, because I saw it there first, but I couldn't figure out how to comment, so here it goes :)
To your first question:
no, you don't need it, it's just there to make it easier to read for people, like us. But it could have been written with it right next to it (i.e. <body><h1>Header</h1)
And to your second
Again, it's just to make it look pretty, it looks nicer if they're aligned with each other, but don't have to be.
I hope I helped answer your questions
Any time you plan to share your code, as in this time of learning, making it easier for us other humans to read is the best thing to do.
Consistent indents can help in some cases. "White space" which is outside the brackets and also not part of visible text doesn't matter in html.
However, making structure visible in your coding helps not only others, but also helps you when you go back to reuse or repair your own work weeks or months later.
Blank lines can also help the visibility of your structure. Use them.
I didn't write it by hand, I typed it, repeatedly and have a feel for that much html. Back when I was a programmer I had a real issue with sloppy coding and sloppy looking coding. I expected my team to follow the format we'd agreed to for columns and comment alignment.
This example we just typed has a line that is a space or two out of alignment in the original. That bothered me and I didn't repeat it in my code.
I know that all sounds very anal but I developed, helped code, and maintain a simulation model with over 12,000 lines of code. Errors are easier to spot if you can always trust your eyes to find the same type of statements by looking for the same format. I actually loved to debug back in those days.
lol, so true! at least yours is cleaner than mine!
Good day Neha;
Here is a site (W3 Schools) that I have referred to over the years. Might I suggest that you bookmark it as it may become a valuable site for your questions in the future. The site has a lot of great information and is broken down into easy to understand sections. I hope this helps, and have a GREAT day!!

It took me some time, but it's new experience for me writing a code on paper..
I Haven't started yet, after reviewing the content that we're supposed to be writing I have a (probably stupid) question...
Doesn't the (meta) tag need to be closed (/meta)? We open all of the others and close them.. Why is the "meta" tag left un-closed?
Nevermind... I found the answer to my own question.. The answer by the way is NO.. It does not need to be closed in HTML. It does have to be closed in XHTML though..
Hello Red;
Here is a link to W3 Schools, which I have referred to over the years and the information is very helpful and broken down into easy to understand pieces. I suggest you bookmark it as it may come in handy down the road. I hope this answeres your question(s). Have a GREAT day!!

This took me some time, but I kinda rember it so it never took me another paper. How cool I am?

Took me longer to figure out how to get back to posting a dang comment than writing the code.
AND now 'boooooooom' LIFT OFF! Here come a great Web Designer
