File and Folder Name Rules
Everything that will be displayed on a web from the server must be in folder public_html
The first page of any web site is called index.html
When accessing a web page from isis, it begins with www.unc.edu/~onyen/
The remainder of the URL is the path BELOW public_html

Page Structure
General Page Structure<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> <head><! --- what shows up on the tab --- ><title>Put your title here</title><! ---defining character necessary for validation --- >
<meta charset="UTF-8"></head>
<body><! --- the “good stuff” i--- >What will appear on the page<footer>
Created by A. Person on a date </footer>
</body>
</html>
The Body
Every page needs› Header (DIFFERENT THAN head)› Content› Footer
Minimal content› Header: title› Footer: who wrote it and when
Dividing Up the BodyBasic model:
<header>…</header>Use for main title
<div> … </div>Use for the main content
<footer> … </footer>Use for accreditations and citations
Each section can be formatted independently (soon)
Adding CSS to your HTML
The best (only way for this class!) way to insert CSS to your HTML is by using an External Style Sheet
Define all your styles in one placeEasily change the look of your siteUse the following <link> tag within the <head> tag
Save your external style sheet as a .css file.
Linking to style sheets
Use file name only for same folderhref=“mystyle.css"
Use full url for externalhref=“http://www.site/folder/file.css"
Why external? Google fonts!
google.com/fonts 2 steps
› Link to font (second style sheet!)› Use name in CSS
