Stuff I Never Knew About Web Pages

I am taking Intro to Web Design this semester, and it's been fairly interesting so far. It's also been fairly easy because I learned html basics back in high school, so it's not entirely new. Not to say I'm not learning. Here's some highlights of things I have learned:
  • The best way to make all pages in a website look like they belong to the same website is to use a separate document called a external CSS sheet. (I really wish my high school teacher had told us about this. It would've saved me a lot of cut and paste.)
  • A simple thing like leaving out a semi-colon can ruin an attempt at formating something.
  • According to a Google search, there are 27,700,000 pages on the web with the title "Untitled Document".
  • Web browsers like text. And keywords. And titles other than "untitled document".
  • The web-safe color chart with the hexadecimal numbers has a pattern. I have figured out the pattern. It's clearly time for me to get out of the computer lab more.
  • Whoever wrote our textbook for Dreamweaver has a real nutty sense of humor.
  • Old cartoon theme songs were very corny, but at least they gave some idea on what the show was about.
Web Design is a great class, but maybe I'm just turning into a complete computer nerd. Next thing you know, I'll actually be understanding my dad's electrical engineering jargon.

... on second thought, no. I will never be able to understand electrical engineering jargon. But I might be able to guess a web color when given a hexadecimal number.
