HTML - The Beginning

Class number 2.  All about HTML.  I was excited because I took a web design class before and I know a lot about hyper text markup language.  In class we did a short webpage just to get the feeling of how it works.  I did learn some new things however.  History, Cookies, Cache...all contribute to slowing down your computer and taking up unnecessary space.  However if you remove them, everything will be fine.  Just wait until your down using the internet, so your computer doesn't have to constantly download a page that you may be frequently using.  Also, I learned about RAM.  Your computer has a hard drive to store information, however when you access that information it moves to your RAM (random accessed memory) and stays there, even AFTER your done using the program.  This could also slow down your computer.  To clear this out, you have to restart your computer.  <<< Very helpful for me because I ALWAYS leave on my computer, and after 3 days or so it freezes, and now I know why.  I always like having useful classes, and I definitely see Digital Journalism being one of those.
