w3schools HTML tutorials:
This was a very straight forward guide to HTML and how it works. I used to use HTML a lot but the blogs and things I was using it for starting incorporating those tags as buttons so I haven't had to do it for awhile. I have also used FrontPage to make websites in a previous computer science class. This guide is really good for refreshing your memory and also, if you have zero clue of what HTML is and what it does.
HTML Cheatsheet
This site is a just a list of HTML tags. It is really good for quick reference if you forgot how to write something. It doesn't go into as much detail as the first site so it's probably more helpful for people who already know the basics and just need to remind themselves of something.
CSS Tutorial
I don't know that much about CSS so it was good to read a basic article about it. It is for more advanced options about formatting the website and changing the background and colors. I was never very good at this and never really figured out how to make a whole layout for a website without using software of some kind. I'm better at editing pre-existing things rather than creating my own entirely. A lot of the more complicated stuff, I didn't really understand but it was useful for making the basics of CSS a little more clear to me.
Beyond HTML
This article was about the development of a management system that would maintain the special research websites the Georgia State library created. They wanted to create a system that would allow for easier access for the librarians so they could edit the content they wanted on the website and make it available for the public. They wanted to make a system that would support images, pdf's, word documents, and powerpoint presentation among other things. They are different options librarians could pursue with this software depending on what they wanted to do with the system. It seemed like a option for libraries to consider if they wanted to have something that could be edited and provide a lot of resources to their patrons.

I agree on the HTML articles it was a nice and easy read. Basically just a reminder on how to use and what HTML is. Both pages should eventually come in handy as reference materials. I assume we will be referring to these for our next assignment, so we all will probably use them rather quickly unless you know HTML already.
