Beyond Learning HTML
So you think you have power? No?
Then change yourself from a consumer of information to a producer!
Now you have the power… Just ask Donald!
Don’t duck for cover, but replace the quill pen and communicate online via Web pages using the Hypertext Markup Language or HTML.
Our two starting resources for learning HTML are:
- W3Schools tutorials at https://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
- Sea Monkey editing tool from https://www.seamonkey-project.org/
After we tinker for a while, we need to build and maintain a Website.
So our next two resources are a Web address and an Online Host with a Web server.
Many companies provide both in a competitive market.
For seniors the the Go Daddy company does it all and has a loud voice in advertising with Alf at for $5 a month from https://au.godaddy.com
Meanwhile you MOODLE account at https://ispg.csu.edu.au/moodle can host you Web pages as you build up your Publishing Power, as HTML is only the beginning.
We need to learn how to make our pages interactive by using JavaScript and look good with Cascading Style Sheets CSS, graphic design and lots of images and videos.
This is only the beginning… It's Only the Beginning - Deborah Conway
