Head First HTML with CSS

From Journal to Web site, at 12mph
Tony’s got his hands full driving across the United States on his Segway.
Why don’t you give him a hand and create a Web page for him.
Here’s what you’re going to do:
1 First, you’re going to create a rough sketch of the journal that is the basis for
your page design.
2 Next, you’ll use the basic building blocks of HTML (, , , , and so on)
to translate your sketch into an outline (or blueprint) for the HTML page.
3 Once you have the outline, then you’re going to translate it into real HTML.
4 Finally, with the basic page done, you’ll add some enhancements and meet
some new HTML elements along the way.
Sharpen your pencil
Take a close look at Tony’s journal and
think about how you’d present the same
information in a Web page.
Draw a picture of that page on the right.
No need to get too fancy, you’re just
creating a rough sketch. Assume all his
journal entries will be on one page.
Things to think about:
Think of the page in terms of large
structural elements: headings,
paragraphs, images, and so on.
Are there ways his journal might be
changed to be more appropriate for
the Web?
