Something else

After a bit of thinking, I have decided that a blog, about all the different HTML Tags and CSS is not the best way, there are so many sites out there, some good and some bad that touch on this subject in a much better way than a blog can due to layout and space provided. So back to the old thinking tank to see what blog could be useful and what I could write about.

Abbreviation Tag

HTML abbreviation Tag <abbr></abbr>, is for marking up abbreviations, when used with the title attribute, when a person hovers over this with the mouse, the text in the title attribute will be shown eg I think supporting the organization <abbr title="People for the Ethical Treatment of animals">Peta</abbr> is a good thing.

HTML Comments, Comment Tag

I didn’t think I would be back so soon, but here goes, the first HTML tag I will be learning. The HTML Comment tag, think of this tag as like a little note book, or sticky note. Where you can write important reminder or note above or below the code explaining what the code is actually doing, as a reference so that maybe when you come back after a few months, or when someone else does they can see what you were doing. To put a Comment tag into your code do <!-- This is my note about what the following code is doing --> Everything between the <!-- and --> Is your Comment. There is also the famous Conditional Comments for older versions of Internet Explorer and looks like this  <!--[if IE9]-->Then do this code <!--[endif]--> Basically that says if the user is using Internet Explorer 9 then run that code. I am staying with the new Browsers so wont be looking at Conditional Comments in to much detail, but here is a site from MSDN, where you can read up about them.

Website

I have been giving it a bit of thought as to how this blog can be done, and one of the conclusions I came to is to have a website to accompany this blog containing the code examples and cool and helpful websites I have found along the journey or am still about to find. The website will also take a bit of time as I am doing it using typo3 (which is also new to me, so learning that to.) the url is www.nettculture.com
