Week 3 Lecture - HTML and CSS

Today’s lecture was really cool. Well as cool as writing HTML can be. Despite doing some in year 9, we never actually made it to CSS files. In fact the extent was here is a wad of HTML, write it out and play with it. I was astounded at the idea of writing the content for the site first and then add your HTML tags. I mean does that not sound simple to anyone else? Yet here I am writing it all out bit by bit, shame on me. CSS files as sad as it might sound, I find really exciting and I have not really done web page work for four years. I did some Dreamweaver in Year 12 but that is not really exciting its like I want this box, this tab and this picture and dump it all in.

So suddenly I find this proposal really fresh and exciting. I knew about how to access the source of a site however using it as a learning tool was not something I thought about. So at the moment I am looking for a text editor, I used to just use notepad but there looks to be some really cool ones out there so why not have a look around before I start.
