HTML lists

Lists are used to group related pieces of information. Lists are frequently used for navigation as well as general content. For semantic correctness, HTML has the ability to express lists of things, and it helps the Google robot and most important it helps screen readers.

Exercise – Portfolio #1– Navigation

Create a subfolder in your website folder, name it portfolio.
The first file must be index.html
Don't forget the Viewport Meta-Tag. It's part of the basic structure,
Now create the basic HTML structure for the index.html (header, footer, main, nav etc.)
Use default content and HTML elements to structure the text.

HTML Links - Hyperlinks

You can click on a link and jump to another document, image or site. A link can be an image or any other HTML element, it does not have to be text.
