Concept of a
tag attribute: <H1 color=blue> the color part is the attribute
• Font Tag. Font face limitations
• Web Colors
• Aligning text (left, right,
center)
• Linking
• Images, Image attributes
(including the 'alt' tag and 'title' tag)
• Image alignment
• Including Height and width - how
if you get the ratios wrong, you squish the picture - including both
makes the page load faster, but using only one eliminates the need to
do the math.
• Turning an image into a link.
• Right-clicking on an image for
its address from someone else, for you to use.
• How loading in an image from
another site actually makes a call to that page too, so if your page is
too popular, you can actually put quite a load on the other site.
• Adding white space around an
image.
• Time to load images (even if
they 'appear small'), therefore why we use thumbnails that are a second
copy of the image that actually IS smaller.

Complete the Exercises on these pages.
Make your own page (totally
for fun) that contains headings, images,
and links. Your TA must sign off on your page before you leave lab.
Details:
• Web colors
--> explain that
hexadecimal is just a nifty way of expressing colors, and you can look
up the code for the color you want. Also, you can use some basic words
like "white" "black" "red" but that is dull.
• Font face (to use a special
font, it needs to be on the user's computer, and the only three
reliable fonts are serif, sans-serif, and monospaced.
