Project 2: HTML5

This assignment involved learning how to edit and create HTML5 code with Komodo Edit 6 and upload HTML pages to the ispace server through SSH. Through this assignment alone, I have gained very valuable skills that are going to help me greatly in my job search following graduation. The ability to manipulate and add content to web pages, even at the most elementary level, is one that is very helpful for sharing content with the world.

There were several problems I encountered when attempting to refine the design of my Web Page content. One involved attempting to embed a YouTube video into the second page. I initially tried to accomplish this by using the material I had learned to that point through the tutorials, but I was unsuccessful so I read about the method to achieve this through the link provided in the tutorial – www.w3schools.com. Once I skimmed over the section about embedding videos I was able to insert the YouTube video where I desired successfully. Another problem I encountered was with the table also displayed on the second page. The table was not appearing how I meant for it to, and I eventually discovered it was because I was using <tl> to denote a new row in the table, rather than the correct form of <tr>. Overall, I am largely excited for the new possibilities I have from learning how to manipulate Web content and display my work on the ispace server. I believe HTML5 is a very user-friendly code that I am looking forward to much more practice with. You can check out my first couple of web pages with HTML5 here — Michael Hamel’s Résumé!
