Session 3

In this session, we'll review creating links plus review the various kinds of links that are commonly used on web pages.  Next, we'll investigate the use of tables to create organized columns of text.  Also, we'll use tables to control the formatting of text and graphics on a page.  And what about graphics?  We will look at free resources on the internet for graphics and tools to work with graphics, we'll discuss graphical formats, and (as always) expand our understanding of web page design principles.
