Topic 1: Abbreviations & Acronyms
A fun topic we learned about in this chapter is the <abbr> code, it can be used whenevr you need to place an abbreviation or acronym and don't want to put the full name in the text. The code creates an effect where you will hover over the abbreviations and it will display the full name in a pop up box. This is very useful because you still want people to be able to understand what you are talking about, but you dont have to worry about cluttering up your page with repetitive words for those who already know.
Topic 2: Defining Color
Another topic we leartn about in these chapters is cololr, most importantly how to define it, there are three ways. The first is through typing in the RGB value of the color you desire. The second way is by figuring out what the 6 digit HEX code if of your color and inputing that. Lastly, we can choose one of the predefined color names, there are 147 colors that browsers have defined automatically. It is best practice to acquire your color through one of the first two methods as some browsers tend to show the predefined colors differently.
Topic 3: Contrast is Key
We have to be careful when chosing our background and text colors as if we want to ensure we attract all readers and keep them on our page. Having low contrast on your page can cause the text to be hard to read, especially for visually impaired readers. Having high contrast is generally the best thing to do, either black or another dark color on whhite is the proper method. If you have long blocks of text you may want to use a bit softer contrast as it can cause the viewer eye strain if not.
