CSS Poem format

During this in class I realized the importance of background images.I googled image serached "city aerial" to get the background image. At first I tried to have two seperate images, one for the city and one for the transparent box to house the text in. But instead by taking the photo into photohsop I was able to adjust the image and mask it to give it to the desired look and feel.


I also had trouble thinking that in CSS language I thought font-family was an attribute for css language. I looked up CSS font formatting at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#color, and found that it was the color that was the attribute I was looking for. This improved the legibility dramatically.


I also had trouble centering my main division. I again referenced the internet and found http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#margin and found that I had to implement "margin:auto" to properly center the image even on scalign of the window.

I also found the html validator insides dreamweaver was an excellent tool or validating my webpage.



It was a lesson in the importance of properly implementing background images.
