150 LESSON 7: Formatting Text with HTML and CSS


Completing the Upcoming Events Section Next , move on to the Upcoming
Events section. In the planning stages, you weren’t sure whether this would be another
link menu or whether the content would work better solely on this page. Again, this deci-
sion is a matter of preference. Here, because the amount of extra information is minimal,
creating links for just a couple of sentences doesn’t make much sense. So, for this sec-
tion, create an unordered list using the <ul> tag. I’ve boldfaced a few phrases near the
beginning of each paragraph. These phrases emphasize a summary of the event itself so
that the text can be scanned quickly and ignored if the readers aren’t interested.
As in the previous sections, you end the se ction with links to the top and to the table of
contents:
<h2 id="upcoming">Upcoming Events</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Wednesday Evening Book Review</strong> meets, appropriately,
on Wednesday evenings at 7 pm for coffee and a round-table discussion.
Call the Bookworm for information on joining the group.</li>
<li><strong>The Children's Hour</strong> happens every Saturday at 1 pm and
includes reading, games, and other activities. Cookies and milk are
served.</li>
<li><strong>Carole Fenney</strong> will be at the Bookworm on Sunday,
January 19, to read from her book of poems <cite>Spiders in the Web.</
cite></li>
<li><strong>The Bookworm will be closed</strong> March 1st to remove a family
of bats that has nested in the tower. We like the company, but not
the mess they leave behind!</li>
</ul>

Signing the Page To finish, sign what you have so that your readers know who
did the work. Here, I’ve separated the signature from the text with a rule line. I’ve also
included the most recent revision date, my name as the webmaster, and a basic copyright
(with a copyright symbo l indicated by the numeric escape ©):
