This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Throughout the Webmaking 101 challenges you'll be writing a lot of code and you'll be doing it with your own fair hands. When you write your code ( instead of having software to do it for you) it is referred to as "coding by hand". In this challenge you're going to take that phrase literally. To complete this challenge you've got to complete three tasks. It should take you about half an hour of your time. You'll need a sketchbook or paper, a pen of some description and some means of taking a digital photograph.
Spend the last five minutes of time looking for other peoples blog posts on the challenge discussion page and leave comments for them. If you can find any errors in peoples work mention it to them, but do so in a way that you'd like people to do to you.

Hey! i am not alone here =)
Keep the good work everyone.
Good job everybody! It's good to see a lot of people on teh same path!!!
Well all of the recent posts are on blog sites I don't use and can't comment on, but everyone's looks good, yay!
I have to be honest and say I'll be glad when these challenges progress to actually making things happen in the browser, though. :)
Commented on Beth and Tommy's blog posts!

Your indentation is very neat and clear. Well done. Memorisation has its place but, in my view, if you find yourself becoming frustrated, why not leave it a bit and come back later? Little and often works better than one big exausting heave which leaves you feeling tired and cross with the task. Learning takes time and, done the right way, it should be fun.
Usually it takes me about 3 to 4 tries to get something new. For me it took 10 as i was not focused. Check out my work at http://moltonlava.tumblr.com/
Hello all here is my Hello World assignment enjoy.

Nice Gary. I've noticed a couple of comments about writing the open and closed tags first. That seems like a great idea since the first couple times I wrote I forgot the close tags.
I would agree. These are simple to do, but easy to forget.
Hi all, here's mine. Sorry about the high resolution picture.

Awesome ! It is very good . It is better than mine
its very nice indeed , <h1> Code is Poetry </h1>
If you want to see my code, it's at http://desdemina.tumblr.com/.
There's a reason I use a computer even when I'm writing code by hand! I put this on the blog post, but when I'm hand coding (using the keyboard), I open a tag, put a couple of blank lines, then close the tag. Then I go up and put the stuff in the middle. But that way,I don't forget to close my tags. Just thought it might be a tip for anyone who has troubles remembering to close their tags.
Great idea, I will remember this one! Thanks
I reckon your handwriting is perfectly clear. I agree, it does seem unnatural to write code by hand on paper, but then this is an exercise to make learners think hard about the mechanics of writing code. That's a good tip on entering both the beginning and ending tag before inserting the content into the middle of the tag. I hadn't thought of that.
YAYYYY
The link button works!!! It seems you have to post it! lol
Still havent put the html pic on my blog.
Still very confused, but learning :)

Hi everyone
Could someone tell me how to put a link to my site on here?
My site is amyscoolpc.wordpress.com
http://www.amyscoolpc.wordpress.com
I have just found a 'link' icon, but it does not seem to work
Good job all! I couldn't find any mistakes in your work! Want to check mine for errors? http://tommyinchicago.wordpress.com/
I finally found a few people who actually listed their blog site so I could do this exercise. Those people did a good job. The majority never gave a site and just said "We all did good" or words to that effect. And those who did publish actually did and I guess that is all they could see too. If you want to check my site it is https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3713902732779540367#editor/target=post;postID=567092182174939922;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=0;src=postname
I tried to visit your site but to do that I had to copy your link and transfer it to a new browser window and even then I only ended up on the main blogger web site.
The P2PU site has a facility for adding links to a word or phrase. Just select the text in question and click on the link icon in the toolbar above. These icons generally have pictures of links of chain. A window will appear and you can add your target link. Click on the "Preview" button and you will see how your post will look. Your linked text should appear in green and underlined - like this:
Well done everyone, it's encouraging to see other people's efforts :)
