Editing Your Site - Links to Tutorials

Know the difference!

HTML - Hypertext Markup Language - Creates the structure of your web, header, footer, content, layouts.

CSS - Cascading Style Sheets - Creates the "Style" or "Look" of your web. Sets colors, fonts, image placement, heading tags, and more.

JavaScript - Creates browser behaviors. It is what makes a dropdown menu work, a slide show to "slide," a lightbox to show photos, and more.
