Block and Inline Usage

When working with an HTML document that will be posted on the web, it is important to bring your attention on how you lay your HTML tags and how it its being used. For example, in your website, you post your web site name which is WEB STANDARD WEBSITE. So we have to use <H1> WEB STANDARD WEBSITE </H1>.

The old traditional way of marking up, we tend to use TABLE in laying out the structure of our webpage. Now they introduce DIV. Div is a markup for grouping and sorting website components that groups each website portion and function. Div is a block-level whereas a span is an inline element which can be seen and present in Adobe Dreamweaver.

Here is how it looks like in Dreamweaver:

Visually it looks like a whole block that group content.

So this is where CSS comes in to rescue, when you want your HTML tag to have a block element. #id { display : block; }

Helpful sites to get you started with Web Designing or Front-end Web Development.

I wanted to share useful sites for all the aspiring web developers and designers.

First I don’t know where to start and where to find tutorials for Web Designing.  I google around and found “pixel2life.com“it has daily updates for user submitted tutorials on Adobe Photoshop. So as I explore more on the community of Web Designing I found “PSDTUTS.com” where they have a lot of amazing Tutorials to sharpen up your skills. Then I purchased a DVD on Lynda.com to master my skills on Adobe Photoshop. Now you don’t have to read tutorials you can just watch and listen how the pros do the job.
