Constructing my website was frustrating to say the least. It had its challenges and drawbacks, but I think it works for a simple purpose. After class last week I used the links and used some Google searches and w3schools on how to connect the files and link back and forth between index->page2 and from page2-> index. I also used that to create the css file. I really didn’t understand what that file was doing until I saw that it was specifying the style of page background, the header, and the paragraph to connect both pages together (to look the same). I understood the first page (index) working as a MAIN source for where I wanted my image and link. Getting the link to connect to the second text editor file was confusing, and linking the outside IMDB pages was difficult on the first attempt, but once I figured in class that my original script for the outer link worked, I copied that for the IMDB links on my page2. So I went back to this each time:
Click <a href="page2.html"> HERE </a> for my Top 5 Scary Movies!
This script allowed me to think about the format for the links that I wanted to connect with each of the pages, but it took a little trial and error before I realized that I’m just changing what is in between the quotation marks to make my link for this work. Then each item ended up connecting.
<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077651/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1"> Halloween </a> <br>
As for the images, the spider web image I found in class I wanted to use, but I could not find where that first image came from, or if it had a copyright on it. I had to locate another image that was available for common use. I did the same with the picture from the cabin in the woods.
Overall I’m satisfied with my experience, and have a large amount of respect for html and coding. I don’t think I will be making another website though!
