We have some chores to do today. The first one is at the beginning of class and the second one is at the end.

  1. Thursday we will be in the Student Center for class while IT fixes the computers in 127. Bring your charged Chromebooks on Thursday morning- we won’t have any other computers. Don’t count on a loaner Chromebook that morning, either. The school runs out fast.
  2. At the start of class: create an account at W3Schools. You may use your school per personal email. The values of creating the account is that you and I can keep track of your progress.
  3. Complete these sections in W3Schools today:
  4. Ten minutes left in class: follow these instructions to upload ALL of your Thawspace files to your Google Drive.
    Why? Out IT department is going to erase every computer in this room to fix the login issues. This means ALL files in your Thawspace will be erased. Gone. Forever.
    What if I am using my H drive?     Your H drive will not be erased but it never hurts to backup your files.

Class survey

2. Now, I suspect that some of you will find that your html code didn’t save. I will explain live and in person.

SO…..open up the Brackets app on your computer and copy/paste the code below into Brackets. I will tell you where to save so that your file won’t disappear. Remember to save your file as

index.html

<body style="background-color: green">
<h1 style="color: red">Welcome to my website.</h1>  <p><hr>

</html>

We will change a few items:
-the background color (click here for lots of choices)
-the title of your page
-the link

Then let’s add this image. Right click on the image and save it into the same folder where you saved your website.

You will add this code to make your image appear (don’t include the 10 – that’s a line number):
