Maryland's Horse Rescue Run by Prison Inmates

This article on WJZ shows how prison inmates are given a second chance to horses who need help. Many of the horses that are being rescued have had pasts in the racing industry and have been left to suffer. This article was very insightful and gave me a new perspective on the hope for not only the horse's futures, but the criminals who are helping them.

...What is nesting in HTML?

What is it?

Putting one element inside another element!

Example:

<html>
<head>
<title> The Adventures of Web Design! </Title>
</head>

The <head> is "nested" in the HTML, and the <title> is nested in the <head>.

ALWAYS make sure your tags are right!
 I lovesquirrels! <--- Like this

Make sure that you 'wrap' the tag around what ever word you want emphasized or changed.

What will happen if you don't do it right?

What ever you wanted tagged won't show up correctly on browsers...don't let that happen!

HAVE FUN NESTING!

What I've learned in Web Design so far

Web Design has opened many doors for me since I did not know how to make a webpage at all before I started this course!

Here's what I've learned.

HTML - The plain version, or the base of a webpage (you can't make an HTML webpage with pretty colors, and you can't control the font)

- Tags to specify what you're using that text for (<h> header,paragraph, <li> list)
-Adding more than one page to a website by telling the web browser to "grab" things from certain places from the computer

CSS - More advanced way of making a webpage by using color, borders, fonts, special effects, etc.

-Tags for CSS: (, <border>, <background>, <background color>)
