Module 3: HTML Tags

I found this task of creating my own web page quite entertaining and intersting during the first few easy steps. However things did get alot harder and confusing as i started editing and coding the page alot more. I found difficulties in trying to keep up with the mistakes i was making eg forgetting to put in "<" or typing in the wrong letters just as the tutorial suggested. It was very easy to make mistakes however i eventually figured out were the mistakes were and how i could fix them.

The tutorial webpage was so helpful and there was noway i could complete the task without it. http://www.pagetutor.com/html_tutor/index.html . I have never done anything like creating a webpage before the closest i have come is probably creating a myspace page. I found html quite an easy coding technique to write a web page however it did take a while to learn the coding for every single thing you wanted to do eg links, font, sizing and so on. I find it strange that with such advancements in technology these days we still write web pages this way, surely there is a more simpler form? It definately was a sense of achievement once i had finished and my page turned out how i wanted it to. However i wasnt sure if i uploaded the finished project into the presentations page properly?

HTML and BLOGGING:-
There definatley are numerous differences between the two. Although to first define the differences i must initially explain the what blogging and html are.

Blogging is the aspect of continuous postings on a website about any particular field. It involves constant updating of information on the topic your blog is about.

HTML (Hypertext, transfer protocol) is the protocol web servers use to communicate HTML web pages to browsers.

I myself find blogging quite easier for the simple fact you can straight up create your own blog not having to do coding or anything like that. HTML takes alot more time and is quite confusing allthough the finished project is possibly alot better and cleaner.
