๐ Blueprints for Success: Your Weekly Project Challenge
This week, let's create a simple personal profile webpage using HTML. Check out the step-by-step guide on the requirements:
Assignment: Create a Recipe Website
Requirements:
1. Create an HTML file named "recipes.html".
2. Include the necessary HTML tags to define the structure of the document, such as the , , , and <title></title>
tags.
3. Inside the tag, add a <title></title>
tag to give your webpage a title, such as "Delicious Recipes".
4. Use appropriate heading tags (`<h1>`, </h1><h2></h2>
, etc.) to create a hierarchy of headings on your recipe website. For example:
- Use an <h1></h1>
tag for the main heading of your website, e.g., "Delicious Recipes".
- Use <h2></h2>
tags for categories such as "Breakfast", "Lunch", "Dinner", and "Desserts".
- Use <h3></h3>
tags for individual recipe titles within each category.
5. Create sections for each category and add at least three recipe titles under each category. For example:
- Under the "Breakfast" category, include recipes like "Fluffy Pancakes", "Avocado Toast", and "Egg and Cheese Muffins".
- Under the "Lunch" category, include recipes like "Greek Salad", "Chicken Wrap", and "Quinoa Bowl".
- Repeat this pattern for the "Dinner" and "Desserts" categories.
6. Use the <ul></ul>
and <li></li>
tags to create an unordered list for the ingredients of each recipe.
7. Use the <ol></ol>
and <li></li>
tags to create an ordered list for the steps or instructions of each recipe.
8. Add images of the prepared dishes to make the webpage visually appealing. Use the <img>
tag and provide the image URLs or file paths as the attribute.
9. Use proper indentation and formatting to make your HTML code easily readable.
10. Save your HTML file and open it in a web browser to see your recipe website.
