Hello everybody,

Today, we again attended an interesting lesson by our nice and kind teacher, Mr. Kent Cheong on CSS(Cascading Style Sheets).

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML.

CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods. The author of a document typically links that document to a CSS style sheet, readers can use a different style sheet, perhaps one on their own computer, to override the one the author has specified. I was also appointed to be the Infocomm Studies rep!

Yesterday,
I attended yet another information-packed lesson by our friendly IS teacher Mr Kent Cheong. In that interesting lesson, I learnt a lot about designing and creating a webpage with HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language). At first, we learnt about the structure of HTML: html, head and body. I have already memorised this wonderful and ingenious structure by heart as I had previous blogging experience in which I designed my own webpage. The head contains information about the webpage, like the title of the webpage. Finally the body contains the main content of the webpage. Do take note that these wonderful tags must come in a pair with a closing tag.

Other than that, we also learnt many other types of tags: p, for paragraphing,h1/h2, etc for heading,a href for linking, img for inserting images, br for leaving a line and finally hr for inserting a horizontal line etc.

We aksi learnt how to create a html using Notepad. I had fun writing out the html format and then seeing it in a webpage format. I think that what Mr. Cheong taught was very useful and I enjoyed trying it out for myself.

Next week, I hope that Mr Cheong can teach us more about HTML.
