HTML

An acronym for Hypertext Markup Language, HTML is a language for creating color, sound, graphics, and font on web pages.  It is the building blocks for web pages.  Without HTML, webpages would not exist.  HTML, which is essentially just text files, is constantly evolving as a language.

An HTML document contains three sections: declarations, head, and body.  The declaration sits at the top of the page and contains a 'doctype' declaration.  This helps the browser interpret the page accurately by showing if it is HTML5 (the latest version) or an older version of HTML.  Sometimes people also add a second declaration that communicates to the browser what character set the server is using for storing and transmitting one's web pages information.  The Head of the document controls what the body does.  The user doesn't view the head as it sits at the top of the page between the head tags.  The Body contains most of the information that the user sees and the code for that.

Along with the above homepage, I also created menu, events, and about pages. The menu is essential because it displays to potential customers their food options at Main Street Sweets and also assists with online orders. Because Main Street Sweets contains a private events room, they have a webpage to display what it looks like and give people an idea of what their event could look like.  The text on this page describes the space, what type of events are held there, and also convinces the reader to hold their next event there. ...

Which Microphone to Use?

In what scenario should the following microphones be used? Handheld A handheld microphone is best for performers or news reporters.  They can easily handle the microphone, and it can capture their voice accurately, while avoiding picking up background noises. Lavalier The lavalier microphone is ideal for speakers who talk with their hands or hold props while talking, and therefore can not hold a microphone.  These also work great for actors who need their microphone hidden. Shotgun This type of microphone is best for filming a movie scene, positioned over people having a conversation. Boundary (or table) mic These microphones are often set on tables in podcasts or sit down style youtube videos.  Not only are they incredible effective, but also quite efficient because you can plug them into a laptop USB to easily record audio.
