Okay, a bunch of announcements and reminders today.
First, MIDTERM EXAM ANNOUNCEMENT. Next friday (not this friday) is the end of quarter three. You will be taking a two-part exam starting on wednesday and finishing on friday of next week. The exam will ask you to do something extremely similar to what you did with your Spring Break Webpage assignment (but from scratch [almost]). You will essentially be designing a single page website and there will be a checklist of things you need to have present on the page. You will not be allowed to use notes or talk to others during the exam.
Things you should make sure you know how to do by next wednesday:
1. layout the basic HTML skeleton.
2. link a stylesheet to your webpage.
3. create a container div.
4. title a webpage.
5. create ordered and unordered lists.
6. add images to your page.
7. float images.
8. add classes or id's to your page elements.
9. create links.
10. tag the following items correctly: paragraphs, headings, bold text, italic text, underlined text.
11. create borders around images.
12. add margin and padding to anything on the page.
13. create dividing lines (horizontal rule).
14. customize the backgrounds of both the body and any divs on your page.
15. adjust font style, size, and color.
16. I may add some things to this list, so check back.
The best way for you to review the majority of the items on this list is through either codecademy, or Treehouse (duh). However, I also recommend practicing the creation of a webpage from scratch (with a stylesheet) when you finish with the assignment below. Go through the

Please have both of the CSS assignments completed in codecademy before your midterm (pictured below). If you don't yet have them done, that's where you should start today.
