Building a Page (Step-by-Step)

When thinking about page structure and layout, a good plan is to start with divs and begin identifying and grouping elements within:

“How many divisions (or sections) of my page do I want?” Create these <div></div> elements accordingly.
Name important divs using the id="" attribute.
Within the divs, add structural html content, like headings, paragraphs, etc.
Add class="" attributes to divs that need styling.
Use the <span></span> element around structural elements that need inline styling, like specific words of a paragraph.
Within the divs, add illustrative elements like images, audio, or video.
Rinse and repeat.

Step-By-Step

Below is a page with two descriptions of popular sports. Here are the steps taken to create this page:

Created 3 empty divs, <div>...</div>
Added ids to those divs, to make them unique:
- id="header"
- id="football-block"
- id="racing-block"
Added structural content to both divs, including headings and paragraphs.
Applied the classes listed in the <head>:
- class="page-block" to all the divs, as they should visually appear the same (color, font-size, etc).
- Added the centered class to all content to be centered on the page.
  Note To apply multiple classes to a div, simply add a “space” between classes. For example <div class="page-block centered">
Added a span to the first sentence of each paragraph, with the class class="first-line". With the applied styling stated in the <head>, each sentence with this span will be italic.
Added the illustrative content - the 2 flag images.
Swelled with pride.
