The W3School site is a very useful site.
The HyperText Markup Language is very forgiving. I found that was good and bad. It covers a lot of mistakes. It allows a lot of mistakes to remain.
As I'm settling in to my html work routine, I'm developing a template to help me standardize my pages and ease my work. I have an html document containing the basic elements, body, headings, paragraphs and a photo.
In my template a have some reminder text. The first heading is "Input: I hard from a friend or neighbor". The second topic is "Processing: I had a thought". The third topic is Output: Here's what I did." - that seems like the right order; what I hear, what I think.
Most important to me is the feedback I get. When someone told me they didn't know they could click on images to make them larger, I added the instructions to the caption. When someone said a link to them to a page but then they couldn't return my page, I added the target attribute. More often it's the subtle comments that are most instructive, "Oh, I didn't know I could resize the window to make the picture even bigger."
Route from Anacortes to Whidbey Island to Port Townsend - September 2016
In September 2016 Maureen and I took a bike tour of the San Juan Islands with Adventure Cycling. On our drive up I was telling Maureen how I didn't mind the distances, it was the hills that wore me out. I didn't know Whidbey Island had so many hills! Here's a screen shot from my phone. Since then, I found an App that showed elevation as well as milage.
In spite of the hills, I really enjoyed the tour. We visited many different islands, rode ferries, went whale watching and had some really nice rides. I'm going to return to Anacortes and spend more time in the San Juan Islands.
