Q1: How do I use HTML code on WordPress?

A: WordPress is designed such that a knowledge of HTML is unnecessary. However, to make full use of HTML in your posts and pages on WordPress, all you need to do is to click the “Code” tab when you are writing up content, as shown below.

This enables you to see the HTML code used in formatting your text.

From here, you can make any editing you desire. Click back on the “Visual” tab to see the effect of what you have edited.

Q2: How often do we receive questions?

A: This is subject to change, but the planned frequency is once every second lesson.

Q3: What are some of the basic HTML tags?

A: The list is virtually endless, but the most basic are:

<b> </b> – bold text
<i> </i> – italicised text
<u> </u> - underlined text
<a href=”http://www.youraddress.com” mce_href=”http://www.youraddress.com”> </a> – hyperlinking
<br> – a line break
<p> </p> - a paragraph

Keep in mind that HTML tags usually must have opening and closing tags (hence the pairs you can see above). A small selection of tags (like the line break tag) do not come in pairs, but stand alone.

Q4: When are the answers due?

A: Strictly speaking, the answers to all questions are due at the very end of the project (Monday 17 December). However, the work moves fairly quickly and you will be hard-pressed to keep up if you let yourself fall behind.

Q5: Can we assist our team members if they are falling behind on task?

A: You can, but you need not. There will be both a group mark and an individual mark for the project, and if someone is significantly behind on their part of the work whilst their team members are progressing fine, those team members will not incur any penalty.
