Stream of Consciousness
General stuff on site
- Include a page of examples for html stuff maybe?
- Alternatively, a quick list of elements used often and their benefits
- Different pages for testing out different layouts
- Probably also have the bare bones of an html page and what to include instead of relying on the neocities one
- project ideas? or only finished stuff?
- ^ ideas in the sense of notes to get img for headers, bg, etc
- decide whether or not to use this for storing useful links and memorable images
- answer is probably not, need to figure out where else is good
- favicon
- consider making a separate css/html files for testing? or is relying on w3schools tryit thing ok?
- yeah, testing and examples for future use
- use css animations instead of marqee for scrolling text
- can i add tags to things to show up on multiple specific pages or is it manual
- look up principles of graphic design
Elements to check out
div
- johnnywander uses it for header pics
- size/space it occupies, img as bg
- is it defined in the style sheet? - YES - use div tags w/brackets as a "container", then define the div class/obj further in style sheet
- can style text w/i
- good for elements w/fixed space/areas that are repeated across pages (like logos, headers, etc.)
- partioning out fixed chunks of space (can have an image as bg, display text w/i fixed area over bg, etc.)
- combo this w/class to change other elements w/o having to specify
list
- ul = unordered (bullet pts)
- ol = ordered (num)
- can do nested lists:
- use a new list tag underneath the relevant list element
- add elements as normal
style sheet
- double check - css is the language? language diff from html?
- line spacing?
- multiple diff styles sheets within a site? (presumably only one per page)
- answer the div container Qs above
- specify different text formats
- can also style "inline" (in the head of the html pg) (w3schools uses inline style for examples)
class attribute
- point to specific class in style sheet
- can be used by javascript
PHP
- consider for maintaining same header/nav/footer/etc across pages instead of always retyping same link?
- idk how it actually works lol
