Independent Practice

Think of a topic for your own web page. Now create your own HTML text file that includes a title tag and a few introductory sentences. Save the HTML file and reload it in your web browser. You might want to create a different folder/directory for this file so you do not get it mixed up with all of the volcano pages you will create for this tutorial.

Keep this file handy as you will add to it in later lessons.

I have created a file called "resource.html" which I will work with to record the information required for 'Assignment 1' in Module 3 - Resource Project.

NOTES........I am really enjoying this so far!
