Tips!

Through doing further CSS and learning about Div Tags in lecture today, I learnt some useful tips,



Tip 1 - Always give each of your pages a title, the reasons being if you don't title your pages, once you open them in a browser all the tabs will be named the same thing and you may know what page your on but if you have a viewer coming to your site for the first time, it will confuse them. Is well titling your pages helps with Search Engine Optimisation and bookmarking.


Tip 2 - Try and stick to lowercase lettering for when giving web pages titles or saving them, I found that using uppercasing isn't always reliable for example when I tried to access a folder on my website, the browser kept showing an error page and this was because I saved my web page under the name of "Index.html" rather than "index.html".



Tip 3 - Like Tip 2, Never start an I.D. name with a number or uppercase lettering.



Tip 4 -
Internal style sheets – you have to individually update each page
           
External Style Sheets – you have a separate CSS page that edits every page on your website


So it's best to make an external style sheet if you have the same layout for each of your pages because it'll save you time when editing a certain criteria on individual page that all apply to every page that has that CSS rule.
