Long weekend ahead of us!

Last day of school, before the long weekend. How great?!!!! We also have a four day week next week, because next Friday is Good Friday! And the week after, it's a four day week too, because there is no school on Monday.
Before we got time to work on Dream Weaver, we learned some things! There is a program called Pirate Bay. This is a program that finds hash files by connecting with each other with a Peer to Peer network.
Each site has it's own address. Just like how every one of us lives somewhere and has an address. No one else in the world has the same address as you, unless of course it's your parents and brothers and sisters. The address for a site is called a URL (Uniformed Resource Locator).
Each address is started with ''www''. And ends with a domain like ''com'', ''org'', ''ca'' etc.
A domain is very similar to your address in whole. Like if you live in a building, you say your building number, just like ''com'' etc.
We have started a new assignment. We each have to create our own web page using our knowledge of HTML. There are a few rules you need to look out for when you are creating a web page.
1) Don't put pictures, videos, logos etc. onto your HTML page. When you are creating a web page, the only things that should be on your page is words and HTML codes. If you want to add pictures and anything else to your web page, you need to give a link and it will access the page with your pictures, videos etc on it.
2) You can't send pictures, videos etc. with HTML!
When you are making a web page, keep the videos, pictures and anything else you want in one folder. The mistake that many kids made during the past few years, when they were handing in their web pages is that they didn't send Mr.Case the folder containing their pictures, videos etc. And Mr.Case couldn't view their web page on the Internet! So be sure to send Mr.Case everything you have done.
3) Be sure to save your main page as ''Index''! The reason for this is that if you don't, other people can simply view the rest of your page, with all the files on it, and could possibly hack it and find out your password!
Tip: If you want to resize your pictures, make sure you have a sample of it, just in case!
That's it for today!

Good Day !
