HTML vs CSS

HTML (hypertext markup language) tells the website where to put things on the page for example make the title centered or the picture on the left hand side half way down the page.It is the building blocks of the whole website.

CSS (Cascading Stylesheets) is they styling and design of the website for example all links on this site will be blue or every title has size 42 font. The CSS is the design consultant when the site opens up every time, it tells the site how to appear.

Example of CSS code 
 
h1 { 

    font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; 

    font-size: 18px; 

    font-weight: bold; 

    color: #000000; 

    } 
h2 { 

    font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; 

    font-size: 16px;

    font-weight: bold; 

    color: #000000; 

    border-bottom: 1px solid #C6EC8C; 

    }

Privacy

  • Humans strive to get attention through Facebook and status updates, they want more comments to feel more wanted and socially stable.
  • We now feel comfortable telling the world everything
  • We don't care who reads or what their comments say as long as they commented
  • These comments drive us to tell the world more
  •  School Net security systems contradict their own existence by selling info to companies and dictatorships
  • Blocking/ monitoring net activity teaches students that trying to keep private is a bad thing and you should accept that someone needs to know what you are doing. 
  • Feedback must be close to the attempt as possible, you want to do better immediately.
  • Games are popular because the result of your actions is shown to you as you play
