First ICE for Web Design

The last time I did any HTML coding was fall quarter of the 2006 school year, which means my web design skills were very rusty. I remembered very little CSS, and a few simple HTML commands.

The first ICE gave me a few problems trying to remember where to find things, and how to order things. Once I managed to find the DOCTYPE info I had to remember the rules for HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0. I managed to create a website with very little CSS.

my first attempts at using CSS on my original file went poorly because I'd forgotten to use 'id="xyz"' and instead had used 'class="xyz"'. One problem I never figured out how to fix was the small space between my image of a chocolate candy and the border around it. In firefox there is a slight space that is beige. I'm not much of an artist, so I decided to put a border around the image so that the white to beige transition wasn't noticeable.
