Picture problems

My latest endeavour with Meloni's 24 hour HTML teach yourself book brought me to learning how to create tables. Not only was I impressed with her writing, her easy to explain examples helped out immensely. I was able to take away the idea and basic structure of making a table. I enjoy being able to learn new things and tear down the curtain further. The only problem I faced was getting the pictures to fit the right size. I was picking rather bloated pictures to upload, and they were not resizing. I tried a few tricks to see if they would resize (I jumped a few readings to see what I could do), but nothing worked. My last, and best way to fix my problem, was to search the exact size of the picture I wanted, along with the description. In turn, I really would like to know how to resize a picture, without having to go through a lot of processes.

Font

We finally wrapped up the book by Cynthia Selfe about Technological Literacy in the Twenty First Century. The book had so much insight and foreshadowing about the new coming century, I could hardly realize that the book was written in the late 90's. This book has great information for teachers that I would consider a good read for many teachers. 

The following book is detailed next. Meloni's hour 6 was as simple as hour 5, yet gave me a lot of knowledge into this new language I am trying to learn. It digs deeper into the font styles we need to integrate when writing in html. We tear the curtain back farther, learning more and more each day. With this knowledge, it opens up the mind to different concepts not originally thought of before.
