Getting right back to it:
◊ Phishing is when someone masquerades as someone else (often with a fake website) to trick people into sharing their personal information.
◊ Malware = malicious software (usually installed without your knowledge). Malware can be in the form of software masquerading as good (like an anti-virus program that’s really a virus) or it can install itself without asking because of some site you visited. Once on your computer, malware can access your data and files and do whatever with them. Eek!
◊ URL = uniform resource locator, consisting of the protocol (like “http://”), the domain (like “google.com”) and the path (like “/internet.html”)
◊ The web = the part of the Internet that uses HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol). Which leads me to ask – what are the other parts of the Internet and what are they used for?
◊ A website = a collection of webpages (documents written in HTML) on the same domain.
◊ A browser = a program that can open webpages and display them (by interpreting the source code).
◊ Basically, everything that an everyday user interacts with is a program. 知らなかったよ。
◊ Again, take this as you will (it’s coming from a complete beginner), but I did not previously know that you can “inspect”, aka see the HTML code, of basically any website you’re on. That’s cray-cray!
◊ And one point from actual coding I did (ha): In CSS, classes are marked with a “.” and ids are marked with a “#”. Both of them are more specific than the generic element styling (body, p, h1, h2, li, etc.). However, the rule is only 1 id per page – unlike classes, which you can add to as many elements as you like.

While I’m by no means making crazy leaps and bounds here in my understanding of HTML and CSS, I am starting to wonder why I don’t just try building my own blog layout. Like, from scratch. Instead of this template.
