Here is the code for adding background color to a table. http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/tables/html_table_background_color.cfm
Wiki #10 (late because I missed last class with illness)
Today I figured out how to use a hyperlink to play sounds or music on the site. It requires fairly basic HTML unfortunately, however it can be useful for inserting things such as audio corresponding to a piece of text. I used www.w3schools.com/html/html_sounds.asp to figure this out. Basically you would do what you would do to link another page, but with a .mp3 file, which you could store in an audio folder within the root folder of the website.

For the 'Bringing it all together' project I needed to link the twitter image to twitter.com, however I couldn't remember how to do it from intro web. So, I looked up how to do it using html by going to http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/article.php/3478181.
I was able to figure it out, as it is very similar to adding a link to text.
It was successful for my project and know I permanently understand how to do this using HTML rather than Dreamweaver options.
Wiki #8
In intro we briefly touched upon the topic of scrolling text, so I decided to revisit it. This is important to give importance to a text on
an online page. I relearned how to create scrolling text on http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/scrolling_text.cfm. Basically, you put this within the body tag and replace "scrolling text here" with the text you are using on the site.
Wiki #7
In HTML it is often effective to save space on the page by using an image slide show rather than showing multiple images at once.
However, the code is quite complicated and it would be easier to use less images. I learned how to create a slide show using three images
on http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/show2.shtml
Wiki #6
The following HTML code allows the user to change the color of the scroll bar within a specific section of their site. This can
be important for following design principles, in using repeating and toned down colors.
The website I got this screenshot from was http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_scrollbars.cfm
Wiki #5
This HTML code allows an editor to put in background music when a viewer enters their page. This is for different themed pages, however music is not recommended. The website I got this from was http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_background_music_codes.cfm
Wiki #4
Often in CSS we need to style a certain property of the website. You can select a part to edit and edit it using the following method.
I found how to do this at http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_id_class.asp
Wiki #3
Tables can be customized in many different ways. One of the ways is to style tables is to change the border.
I found a several different ways to change tables on: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_table.asp
: 1px solid black; makes the border a solid line, 1px in width, and black in color.

Post #5: 3/4. All required elements are provided but be sure to post on a skill that is encouraged in Web Design. Adding music actually breaks the rules of creating an attractive and user friendly Website. Do not just post to post- make it a useful resource for the future.

All of the code you provided will definitely be useful for me and other web designers. I especially liked the background music code because I think websites with music in the background can be very appealing.

Very good job Brendan. Personally my favorite was the scrolling text code. It was helpful and explained well.

Post #9. 10 & 11: 3/4 . All required elements are provided but each seem very elementary. You learned about table background colors in Intro. Try digging into some CSS3 and adding shadows and rounded corners to tables.
