The HyperText part refers to the ability to create links from one page to another, while Markup describes the way users can annotate text. (Reference: <em>HTML &amp; CSS \u2013 John Duckett<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/megandarkodesigns.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211\" style=\"width:236px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/megandarkodesigns.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png 420w, https:\/\/megandarkodesigns.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1-243x300.png 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I also explored the <strong>Web Standards Model framework<\/strong>, which outlines the four layers involved in creating a webpage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Content<\/strong> \u2013 includes text, images, videos, and audio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Structure<\/strong> \u2013 defines how the content is organised.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CSS<\/strong> \u2013 controls the appearance and presentation of the content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Behaviour<\/strong> \u2013 makes the webpage come alive using JavaScript.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Through using markup language, I began to understand the importance of giving meaning to text. For example, using the &lt;h1&gt; element defines a title, while &lt;h2&gt; represents a subheading. I also realised it\u2019s essential not to guess the meaning of text when referencing a book, but to check how the content is actually structured. Additionally, I learned that &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt; tells the browser to use the latest version of HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week\u2019s task was to create a <strong>four-page website<\/strong> using only HTML. Through this, I learned how to organise files and folders so that they are clear and easy to navigate. I also practised linking pages together to make navigation accessible to the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"69\" src=\"https:\/\/megandarkodesigns.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/megandarkodesigns.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image.png 602w, https:\/\/megandarkodesigns.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-300x34.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During this process, I explored three types of lists for structuring links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ordered lists (&lt;ol&gt;)<\/strong> \u2013 numbered lists, often used for step-by-step instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unordered lists (&lt;ul&gt;)<\/strong> \u2013 bullet-point lists, which I used for my navigation menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Definition lists (&lt;dl&gt;)<\/strong> \u2013 used to define words or terms, similar to a dictionary format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 3 This week, I learned what HTML stands for \u2014 HyperText Markup Language.
