This week I got the great pleasure of brushing up on HTML. For those of you laypeople... that stands for HyperText Markup Language and it's a completely foreign language to most people. The main website I used to delve back into the depths of HTML was http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp. The HTML5 tutorial at w3Schools.com was very easy to use and took me step by step through the varied aspects of the language including headings, paragraphs, formatting, links, etc. I really liked the tutorial and learned a lot from it. The second website I tried to use was http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut but the link didn't work. I took off the /tut portion and it took me to the Maricopa Center for Learning and Instruction's website but I couldn't find any links for an HTML tutorial. I decided to just trudge forward with my somewhat limited experience and attempt my new webpage.
Unfortunately my webpage making experience was very stressful. The writing of the webpage itself was rather easy with the example from the lesson and the tutorial help. The frustrating part came when I could not figure out what I was doing wrong in uploading my webpage to WinSCP. I thought I followed all of the steps for downloading both it and PuTTY. I went over and over the directions but I wasn't seeing the same things on my computer screen. After hours of wanting to scream and pull my hair out I finally figured out how to get it to work. Hallelujah!! Now I have the fruit of my labors at www.u.arizona.edu/~saf1/DigIn/ for all to peruse. Not bad for a hard day's work if I say so myself.
