Lesson in HTML

I learned some basic HTML in undergraduate school for my Graphic Design major about seven years ago.  I didn’t really become fluent in HTML and CSS until I went to graduate school in 2005.  I used some of the resources listed in the lecture (especially the W3C school site) and several books including Stylin’ With CSS and the CSS: The Definitive Guide to learn it.  I still refer to both of those books when I’m working on a project.  I prefer writing my code in applications like Bluefish or HTML-Kit-  something to help with closing tags or header information, but not as restrictive or complicated to use as Dreamweaver (although I do use Dreamweaver at work for things that require it).  Whenever I hit a problem with basic HTML (like forgetting what tag I need to use or simpler tasks) I either end up using the W3C site or just Googling it.  For something using layout tricks with CSS I find lots of good information at the A List Apart site.

Maybe I misunderstood exactly what we were supposed to do last week but it appears that I already did the assignment for this week in regards to the server.  I already edited the ifconfig file and restarted with no problems.  Adding the entry to the hosts file went without incident too.
