Hello World


Write a basic HTML document

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).

You're going to keep doing this until (hopefully) you can do it without making any mistakes and (ideally) by memory. It's important to be able to do this because this basic html document will form the basis for (almost) every html document you write in the future.
 
Below is the code that you're going to write out by hand. Be sure to copy it verbatim. Every quote, space, capitalisation and indentation is important. When you start writing more complex HTML & CSS you'll see why ;)You can be creative with your Hello World and include your name and a personal message.
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title> Hello World by Susie Creamcheese</title>
    </head>
 <body>

        <h1> Hello World by Susie Creamcheese</h1>
            This code is written by hand. How awesome am I?
        </p>
    </body>
</html>
 
If you make a small mistake that's ok, but if you make a big mistake then start again. If you manage to get to the end without making a mistake in under fifteen minutes, then start again, but this time doing it from memory.
 
At the end of the fifteen minutes you should have got through a few pages or sheets of paper and have something that resembles the above code.

    I don't know about it. Easier way to make real money - go to my link http://bit.ly/1cGytXr and start making $$$ right away. No investment at all. I made $500 in 4 hours. Do not withdraw $300 - that will be processed for 30 days. Make $500 and then take a check. On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 6:35 PM, t-sabir <
