First few lines of html

Finally learnt today what i was so confused about before, which was how to get a html page up and running, e.g. what you would see online once it has been published.  Jasper showed me how to copy and paste a from html shell (http://www.htmlshell.com), and where to put in things like titles, headers, body text etc.  As it stands i only have 2 lines of a web page, but its a start!

Unfortunately, last week when we were having lessons on html, they were just moving too fast for me to keep up with, but i understood a few things, i just needed to stitch a few things together in my own time.  Also I've found a few sites which are useful e.g. http://www.codecademy.com, which should make things a bit easier.  I remembered swell today about the 16 columns rule that i need to remember. And to check on http://www.theukwebdesigncompany.com/articles/entity-escape-characters.php to make sure characters are going to work on html.

Andrew reminded us of the age group this site is aimed at (15/16 year olds), which i didn't think too much about when i did my ibook, although the ibook is not too bad, but maybe a re jig of the fonts i used, to ones that are a bit more appropriate.  I based the fonts before on modernity, and the grace and majesty of glaciers.
