Understanding HTML: A Quarter of Growth

        In the second quarter, I gained a solid understanding of HTML, learning essential tags and how to implement them in creating web pages. I discovered the importance of tags like <h1>, <p>, and <a>, which helped me structure content such as headings, paragraphs, and links. Additionally, I learned about stand-alone tags like <br> for line breaks and <hr> for horizontal rules, which were crucial for organizing and separating content on a webpage. By combining these tags, I was able to create simple, functional web pages. This knowledge provided me with the foundational skills needed for web development, and I felt a sense of accomplishment as I applied these techniques through hands-on projects.

     One of the challenges I encountered was my lack of knowledge about how certain tags work and how even a small mistake could cause everything to malfunction. At times, I found myself frustrated when a webpage wouldn't display as expected, and it was often due to something as simple as forgetting to close a tag or using the wrong tag in the wrong place. These small errors were hard to detect, and they could prevent the entire page from functioning properly, making the troubleshooting process more time-consuming and challenging.

   To address these challenges, I focused on paying more attention to the details, making sure I carefully reviewed my code to catch any mistakes. I also used online resources and sought help from my peers and instructors to better understand how each tag functions and how to troubleshoot effectively. With more practice, I became better at spotting errors and learning how to fix them quickly. Moving forward, I will continue to deepen my knowledge of HTML and begin exploring more.
