The in class assignment not done in class

Here are the links to my two pages:

html recipe
xhtml recipe

I started by downloading and installing TextPad to do my HTML editing. It works ok, but I remember BBEdit being better. It had templates that would put the boiler plate code on a new document. I then dug up some of my work from IMM and grabbed the boilerplate code from them. We didn't actually do HTML 4.01 in that class, so I actually wrote it in XHTML transitional first. I then had to spend some time with the validation site before I got it validated for 4.01, changing stuff to match the older standard.

After that, I reversed my changes, saved it as the xhtml version, and validated it. I slapped it up on Gibson via WinSCP, and called it a day.

EDIT:

On Wednesday, we continued editing the page and added some CSS. The I ran into some problems with positioning, but eventually figured out which commands were interfering with one another and worked it out.

My page is still pretty plain, but it's got some stuff there now.
