CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a style sheet language specifically used for describing the look and the formatting of a document that is written in the markup language. When we did the HTML lab, we wrote in the language that CSS can understand. It translates the written words from the HTML and we created the styling and formatting in CSS in order for it to look more appealing. CSS includes fonts, colors, and layout and it is designed to help the separation between the document and the presentation of the document. CSS dresses up the original document and makes it much more visually appealing and easier to view the content. The same document can be presented in various ways depending on the formatting and layout of the original text. Simple editing can completely change the look of the document when it appears on the webpage. It was a really cool process to mess around with in the lab. 

HTML

We learned all about coding and writing HTML in class last week. I had no idea the extent to which HTML is written. I was so confused throughout most of the lab but by the end I felt I had a much better grip on it. It was really cool to be able to save the HTML and check it immediately on the internet.

Notepad ++ seems like such a simple application on the computer but it is pretty vast in the amount it can do. I was surprised that it took all those tags and applications and put them into a working HTML page.

Security

We look for security in many aspects of our lives; our homes, our relationships, our valuables, our identity, and the list goes on. Security is protection from certain threats. We seek comfort in knowing our things are protected against the potentially dangerous outside world. This same valuable security follows us into the online world as well. We need security so that our personal information doesn't get stolen and used against us. Personal information is easily accessed through any online site and if it falls in the wrong hands it is an extremely scary thing. That is why we need security in our real lives and our online lives.
