<h1>Week 1 Homework</h1>
<p>
I didn't actually expect to get as far as we did in the first week, so homework is pretty short and spur-of-the-moment. Later homeworks will be much longer.
</p>
<p>
This homework is optional. You won't be graded on it, and there's nothing to submit. Future homeworks will <i>not</i> be optional.
</p>
<h2>Part 1</h2>
<p>
If you didn't get an image working, try to do that! Remember the image tag has peculiar behavior, and looks like this:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;img src="/path/to/image.extension"&gt;
</pre>
<p>
If your image is in <b>Downloads</b>, for instance, your image tag might look like <code>&lt;img src="Downloads/image.png"&gt;</code>.
</p>
<p>
Be aware that this is <i>relative</i> to your <code>index.html</code> file. This means that, if your <code>index.html</code> file is in
<b>Documents</b>, trying to access "Downloads/image.png" will actually try to access <i>Documents/Downloads/image.png</i>, which usually won't exist.
</p>
<p>
To fix this, either make sure your image and your index.html are in the same directory (e.g. one of Downloads, Documents, etc) and don't use a directory name (like <code>&lt;img src="image.png"&gt;</code>)
or use the "../" path to <i>break out</i> of a directory (like <code>&lt;img src="../Downloads/image.png"&gt;</code>).
</p>
<h2>Part 2</h2>
<p>
Remember a link looks like:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;a href="https://example.com/"&gt;Link Text&lt;/a&gt;
</pre>
<p>
Links are pretty cool - for instance, you can actually put most tags inside them. Try making a website with a clickable image!
</p>
<h2>Self-Study</h3>
<p>
We're going to be introducing some more advanced tags and techniques in class on Friday. Get a head start by learning on your own about,
</p>
<ul>
<li>The <code>html</code> tag</li>
<li>The <code>head</code> tag</li>
<li>The <code>body</code> tag</li>
<li>The Web Inspector</li>
</ul>
<p>
You'll have to Google these on your own - remember to write concise queries, like "&lt;tag&gt; in HTML" or "how to use [some tool]".
And don't worry if you don't find anything; we'll go over it in class.
</p>
<p>
If you can get the web inspector working, try using it to read the source-code of <i>this page</i> - there are some cool basic tags in here that you can play with!
</p>
<h2>Bonus Points</h2>
<p>
I will give you bonus points (0.5% to your final grade) if you bring in an HTML tag you learned on your own and a quick demonstration of how it works on Friday!
</p>
<p>
I'll make it 2% if you can bring in a tag <i>I haven't heard of</i>.
