I took Intro to Multimedia like a year ago, and making these practice webpages were VERY helpful. I am ok with programming, but I would sure love to be AWESOME in PhotoShop and illustrator. I am on my way to Awesomeness.

On a more serious note this is what I learned when making these two webpages:
Page 1 done in HTML: http://people.rit.edu/~ifo0912/409/htmlrecipe.html
Page 2 done in XHTML: http://people.rit.edu/~ifo0912/409/xhtmlrecipe.html

1. You need to have a DOCTYPE!
Most likely they will be html transitional or xhtml transitional:
html:

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"

xhtml:

!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"



2. Watch how you close your code:
Items that normally do not require a closing tag in regular html require one in xhtml.
Then tend to look like this: br and br /


3. In XHTML you declare html with added content:

html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

CSS:

4. You are able to declare and close css internally in a webpage by (I added some content in order to remind me of the format):

style type="text/css"
ul{
background: #ffcc66;
border: 2px solid black;
width: 300px;
height: 150px;
padding: 1cm;
}
/style

Well thats it, I feel NOT ready, but hey practice makes perfect. With that in mind, I am going to be practicing a lot, but I like making webpages so noooo sweat :D
