Next, we move to PART 5- Lists and Tables

omoelu1:
you are supposed to save it with a “.html“ extension now.

Simply type the file name and add .htm or .html at the end.

Ride on Sir... Who are those making a noise in the class?

Omerian Consult: However, your entire lecture here can be read up in < an hour so try to speed up a little, or can you help we intermediate learners with good self-study materials?

Omerian Consult, we have to remember that there are people that are just learning HTML for the first time. However, we'll be through with HTML soon (4 more parts). After this, links to a book (by me) that treats HTML exclusively (which is definitely more advanced but explicit), will be posted on this thread. This will be the process for CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, e.t.c.
So just hang around till we get there. Gracia!

iyenimofe:
Will definitely reply, please hold on...

its been three days now and I'm still waiting. Or should I just go ahead and ask my question here? Please respond. Thanks

Ok. Its about google business site builder. I came across it recently and thought it was a good idea to get a cheap, fully functional website(through GNBO). But experience has taught me that nothing good comes easy. I'd like to have your professional opinion on it. Can it truly create "professional" looking websites? If yes, what are its limitations?
NB: I am very new in the website field.

You see Emorse, when some just join this "our" profession, they are tempted to jump unto anything tagged free. There is nothing like "Nothing for Something", even the GNBO charges for some of their services after some time. The GNBO is meant for business owners that want to cut the cost of hiring a webmaster. So the website produced by the site builder, cannot have that professional feel. (Though, I wonder why you'll want to use a site builder, as it'll not build your coding abilities).
However, Google Site builder can be used to create intranets, which are to be used within an organization and not by the public. It is useful in this regard because of Google's other tools. If you use it to create a business website (which'll be publicly accessable), don't put in your name as the webmaster, as the resulting site (with its poorly designed "free" themes) is nothing a true webmaster should be proud about.

PART 5
Session 1
HTML Lists
In our daily life, we make use of lists largely. Likewise, in HTML lists are used to display sentences, links, images and even other lists. Three types of lists can be created in HTML.
1)Unordered Lists: Unordered here does'nt mean random(scattered) items on your page. Unordered list items are alligned vertically with each list item begining on the next line. Each item has a bullet(bold circle) before it.
Unordered lists are defined with the <ul> tag. Each list item is definfed with the <li> tag.
Syntax
<ul>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ul>

thanks for confirming my thoughts bro. But how much will it cost me to set up a "professional" website myself? I know it costs 1.5k - 2.5k to register a domain name. What other costs will I incure?

1: Web Hosting (The price varies with services offered and the host company)
2:CMS (Optional and could be free or not)
3:FTP (Optional and could be free or not)
4:Image Editor (If you collaborate with a Graphic s Artist-which will reduce your workload-it won't be necessary)
5:Advertising

2)Ordered Lists: The differences between ordered and unorderd lists are:
i) Instead of bullets, ordered lists have numbers before them. These numbers are affixed to each list item serially.
ii) The <ul> tag is replaced with the <ol> tag. List items are still defined with the <li> tag.
Syntax
<ol>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ol>

3)Description Lists:
This type of list differs a little from the previous two.
The list itself is defined with the <dl> tag. What was called list item in the previous ones, is now called description terms and is defined with the <dt> tag. Each <dt> element can be described further with the <dd> tag.
Syntax
<dl>
<dt>Item</dt>
<dd>Item Description</dd>
<dt>Item</dt>
<dd>Item Description</dd>
</dl>

Right click on the HTML file and select “Open with Notepad” and let me know if that works.

i made a mistake. i switching on my laptop and left the dvd rom open. i did not realise when my little sister drag and remove the dvd rom from the pc which made the sytem hanged and the monitor blinking. i quickly remove the power outlet and the battery.. and on it some minute later, the monitor will not display but the power indicator is there on(meaning the laptop is on), and cant be switched off unless the battery is being removed.
