Week 2

Getting down to the "Matter".
Wow!Its week 2 !!
This week we focused on the structure of a page .
We took a closer look at the four main elements :html,head,title and body.These elements should be seen on every xhtml document.
We also visited the attributes these elements carry such as style,class,id,title.
Overwhelmed but having a better understand at this point we learned about headings and the many attributes ,making paragraphs ,creating line breaks.All of which we had to practise on our own page ( see my page below ).
Going into week three I have a much clearer understanding of what I have gotten myself into .
