Online Web Tutorials

XHTML is a reformulation of HTML to be able to agree with the existing standard of XML (Extensible Markup Language). It is like picking out all the best things from HTML, filtering all the awesome aspects from XML, combining these two together and coming up with a very flexible and powerful XHTML.

Compliance of XHTML is more strict than that of HTML. Firstly, you cannot leave a tag unclosed unlike HTML. If HTML allow attributes in single quote, XHTML requires them to be enclosed in double quotes. Also, comment in the form of should be removed and inline codes of javascript and styles should be stored in separate files of .js and .css respectively.

I noticed that a lot of people are still confused about the terms “Website” and “Webpage”. Some think that they have the same meaning, but they are actually two different terms.

A webpage consists of information that can be viewed in a world wide web and it can be accessed through a web browser. You can compare it in a page in a book or an important paper from a folder with a compilation of documents. On the other hand, a Website is a collection of information regarding a specific subject. It consists of a number of webpage that’s why a website is developed. You can compare a website into a book or a folder with a compilation of important documents.

In view of the fact that everything is online, it would be very impossible not to find articles on web about tutorials. Technology has made a big role in our lives, making every piece of writing or commentary as well as lessons available. I just wonder if reference books sold in bookstore is still selling like hotcakes with all the knowledge and data that you can get in the web. But still some resources are also limited and are bounded. That’s why to give justice to some information provided, some has offered online schooling for convenience. Yes, people are sought after will all the online craze.

Misconception #4: Images are great in illustrating points you want to deliver. It also adds appeal to your website. But do not image-overload your site because it takes some time to load them. Also, save your images using the correct format. Images that have more colors are saved as .jpg images, otherwise you have to save it as .gif format.

Misconception #5: Your website is viewed equally at all times

This mistake is very common among webmasters. You can never assume that your site looks the same in all browsers because browsers render HTML differently. Remember to view your site in all possible browsers, especially the leading ones like Firefox and IE.

Misconception #2: Flash Enhances your Website

Additional features like Flash elements sure adds appeal to your website. But be cautious in using these features because not all Internet user have a broadband connection, some of them may still be crawling dial up connections at 56K. If this is the case, it will take some annoying time to load a page.

Misconception #3: Colors Enhances your Website

Of course you wanted your site to be readable. Do not make your site out of rainbows; you cannot put all the colors in the color wheel into your website. That is totally a no-no because it will create chaos. Also, consider dark colored text and light colored background combination. It won’t hurt your reader’s eyes.

The following are web design misconceptions. Read and make sure you do not fall for them. Hope this helps.

Misconception #1: Web Designing is ONLY for Tech Savvies

Of course not! Software like CoffeeCup can help you design your own website even without technical knowledge about the subject. Even web hosting solutions provide such help in web design. There are preset templates you could choose from. You just need to insert your own content and publish right away. Everything you ever have to need in building and managing a website will come with your web hosting package.

You might be wondering what that tiny button Print Screen, just above the Insert button does? I have been trying in vain to push that and wait for my printer to just push out the paper with something printed on it. It was then that I realized my ignorance to this piece of equipment.. Well who didn’t fall for that same mistake?

To make the Print Screen button work, you must save the image of what’s displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then paste it into a document where it can be printed like Windows Paint or Word, maybe.

To help you do this, follow this simple guide:

1. Maximize the window you’d like to capture.
2. To the current window, hold down ALT + Print Scrn at the same time. To capture the entire screen, just press Print Scrn.
3. Open a new document in MS Word, MS Photo Editor, or Adobe PhotoShop.
4. Paste the screen shot by holding down CTRL and V at the same time.
5. Print the document when you’re finished pasting screen shots.

Voila. You have printed your screen!

Think of the video you are making as a story book. Set the scenes, build the characters, narrate the story, then finish. Remember you can only use the vision you have shot, so keep that in mind when you are dealing with the camera.

Setting the scenario
The best place to begin in any video is with an establishing shot. This is normally a wide shot to give the viewer an idea of where you are and what’s happening. Other examples of shooting shots are on-camera introductions, where a person talks directly to the camera to introduce the video. Or you can use a graphic or title page, like ‘Susie’s birthday’.

Tell the story
Now you can start working with your footage to tell the story. You can put shots wherever you want them, imagination is the only key in making a beautiful video.
