Okay, so I decided to build a tribute page. I’d seen a few of these around, and I thought, “Hey, I can do that!” So, I started with the basics, like, what’s the structure going to look like?
Getting Started
First, I created a new folder on my desktop. Inside that folder, I Made a simple HTML file. you know, just a blank page to start with. I opened it up in my text editor.
I typed out the basic HTML structure. You know:
- <!DOCTYPE html>
- <html>
- <head>
- <body>
I gave it a title in the <head> section – something simple.
Adding Some Content
Next, I needed some actual content. I decided to make it about Eddie,I’ve played with him a lot. So, I added a main heading (an <h2>) with his name.
Then I added a paragraph (<p>) tag to write a little intro. Nothing fancy, just a few sentences about why I wanted to create a tribute.
I found a picture online and saved it to my project folder. Then, I used an <img> tag to put the image on the page. I made sure to add some “alt” text to the image, just in case it doesn’t load or for screen readers.
Making It Look Decent
It looked pretty plain, just black text on a white background. Time for some styles! I created a simple CSS and put it into the style tag.
I played around with some background colors, text colors, and fonts. Just basic stuff to make it look a little more presentable. I centered the heading and the image, I’m no designer, but at least it wasn’t all crammed to the left.
The Final Touches
I went back and added a few more details. I added some more paragraphs with information about Eddie, like, his stories and backgroud.
Finally, I looked over everything, checked for any typos, and made sure the image was displaying correctly. It’s not winning any awards, but it’s a decent little tribute page, and I built it from scratch! It felt pretty good to put all the pieces together.
