Chapter 9 Highlights - 3 Facts Learned Blog

Assignment 7 - After reading Chapter 9, post to your blog 3 facts you learned from the chapter. Tell the fact, definition, or explain what you learned.

Fact 1 - I learned that a beginning Web page designer using HTML should use limited fonts that are commonly installed on all computers. This is to ensure that the Web page is displayed correctly when viewed by others.

Fact 2 - I learned that most Web servers process upper and lowercase characters as the same. It is a good idea to save HTML documents in all lowercase to prevent compatibility issues if the Web site is ever moved to a different server.

Fact 3 - I learned that it is a good idea to check your work periodically in a Web browser as you are working in a HTML document. This allows the developer to look for problems in coding and to make sure the page being created looks correct.
