From the FB Page of a Professor Friend

an email I sent to my students today and the reply i got from one student:

How do I memorize HTML code?

By doing it often. what does the below code mean?

<a href="http://twitter.com/jacieyang" target="_blank">My Twitter</a>

It's a "a" tag, which is a link. the first attribute in the link, "href" means hypertext reference, tells the browser where we are linking to. the second attribute "target" tells the browser we want to open up the webpage in a new tab (_blank). the text we want to show on the web page is "My Twitter".

Force yourself do a little html code every day, and you'll be really good at it. i did 5 "a" tags today. you?
