Exercise 2

Using the tags you've learned so far, create your resumé. (If you haven't worked before, and don't have anything to put on your resumé, just list the schools you've attended and classwork you've done, and make up imaginary jobs. :)

The resumé should include examples of headings, paragraphs, lists, and links. Here are some ways you can use these elements:

Headings

Use headings for the different sections of the resumé, such as "Education," "Work experience," "References," or anything else that you think is appropriate.

Paragraphs

Body text must be in paragraphs.

Lists

You could possibly list:

• Skills
• Software you know
• Awards won
• Schools attended
• Degrees and diplomas earned

Links

You could link to:

• The websites of the companies you worked for
• The websites of the schools you attended
• The websites of the software you know
• The e-mail addresses of your references

You won't be able to do every kind of formatting you want to do because we haven't learned many of the text formatting tags yet. We will be learning those in the next chapter. Do the best you can with what you know, and don't worry too much if you can't make it look perfect yet. You don't really have the tools to make it perfect, at this point.

When you are done, save your file, but don't turn it in yet. You'll be adding to it in the next chapter's exercise, and that's the one you'll be turning in.

Questions for review

(You don't have to turn these in. This is just for your personal review.)

1. What is a heading?
2. Are headings used to specify font sizes?
3. Are paragraph tags container or standalone tags?
4. What is the difference between an ordered list and an unordered one?
5. How do comments display on a page?
6. Why would you use the comment tag?
7. What is an attribute?
8. What is the A tag usually used for?
9. In what situations would you need to link to an anchor?
