I'm such a w00b!

A what?? A w00b! Ok so I play a lot of computer games and a 'newbie', somebody who is new to the game is often referred to in a derogatory fashion as a n00b in 'dude speak'. I happen to quite like calling people n00bs in the nicest possible way you understand! :)

And what does this have to do with software? Yesterday I finished my introductory book on HTML & CSS so my new mission is to just get started building a website. I flicked through the book and pulled out the main teaching points and built a list of 29 things to do with the site to exercise all of my new skills. Step 1 was to simply create a page with a header, title, headings, paragraphs and an image. Pretty basic stuff and of course there is no styling yet so it looks horrid.

I'm working through my list of 29 things and I'm up to number 4 - making lists whoooo! I thought to myself "I feel like a complete web n00b" and that just led me naturally to the word w00b! So, just in case nobody has thought of it before, YOU READ IT HERE FIRST!

I'm a w00b yay!

Oh dear, back to the HTML...
