It helps more if you type it as http://www.jessicahodsdon.com/ so that
more newsreaders recognize it as a link.
So I've gone there and, guess what? You've got a Web site! Congrats.
Now you can change the <title> to something more globally enlightening
than "My sister". And add some text just to see something, like:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Ut
consequat tellus nec tellus luctus fringilla. Suspendisse potenti.</p>
And here's a contribution for you to put inside the <style> element,
although at some point[1] you will probably want to move from embedded
CSS like this to using an external stylesheet.
html, body {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-size: 100%;
background-color:#FFFFFF; color:#000000;
padding:0px; margin:0px; }
The most instructional thing you can do is tweak small things in your
code (markup and CSS) and see the effect(s). So don't just accept the
CSS above; add it to your page, view it in some browsers, then change it
and see what happens.
For example, a lot of folks don't care for serif fonts for long online
texts. So try something like
font:100% Arial, Helvetica, "Century Gothic", sans-serif;
instead of the fonts I gave you at first. Try using different colors
(especially if black-on-white isn't what you like). And so on.
HTH. GL.
[1] The point to start with an external stylesheet is probably when you
get a second page for the site.
