This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.

Task Navigation 

Post to Your Blog


Write a blog post to accompany a photograph of your hand written code
From all the glorious handwritten examples of beautiful html that you've created over the last fifteen minutes select your best effort. Take a photograph (or scan) of it, making sure that the code is legible so that others can read it. Now spend about ten minutes of time writing a blog post to accompany your photograph (or scan). You should include how many attempts it took for you to get to the end of the code. If you've found it frustrating mention that, but ask yourself why - is there anything you could do to alleviate this?
 

When you're done writing your blog post and it's published, post a link to it on the challenge discussion page.

    Hey Javin,

    You didn't close your <title> tag all the way, there needs to be another ">" at the end.

    I really like the background image on your blog, what anime is that from?

    Hey seaglass415,

    It would be easier on people who read your comment if the link to your blog was a clickable link.

    Hey Felix,

    The HTML you wrote looks great. When you posted your comment I thought you were yelling, because you wrote in all caps; just food for thought.

    Hey itskeeton,

    The closing title tag in your hand written code is missing, the "</head>" tag is there, but there is no "</title>".

    After looking at a few hand written examples, seeing your grid paper was pretty cool.

    Hey Phille,

    Looks like there is a missing "</title>" tag in your handwritten HTML. Also, for the sake of someone else who may read your code, it is helpful to them to make indents in each line that needs to be nested. That stuff becomes really important if you join a team of web developers.

    I really enjoyed seeing the progess you had been making though, your blog looks very interesting.
