Web Standards

It is important to develop websites that comply with web standards because if you don't, it is likely people won't be able to access your website.

The reasons why I think web standards are important are because if you don't follow them people probably won't be able to access your website, they are standards for the web so you should probably follow them when making websites, you could end up with a bunch of problems if you don't follow them in the first place, it would be faster to just use them, and lastly you won't have to worry about your website not displaying the right way.

HTML focuses on the content of a webpage, CSS, focuses on the display of a webpage, XML is a markup language used to create other markup languages, and XHTML is a rewrite of HTML as an XML language.

3 Goals for This Semester

One personal goal I have for this semester is to pay closer attention in all my classes so I learn more.

A goal I have for school is to be more organized. I lose a lot of papers and stuff in my backpack and then I don't get credit because I can't find it even when I did the assignment.

My information technology goal is to work faster and harder so if we do another assignment like the pasta divine one then I can finish it. I didn't get to finish it because I kept running into problems so yeah.
