// THE POINT THIS WEEK
The edit-save-refresh loop. Practice with text tags. Links between pages.
// TALKING POINTS
The oldest loop in the trade
  • Edit, save, refresh: the loop you'll run ten thousand times
  • Small steps make bugs obvious; big steps hide them
  • If the page didn't change, you didn't save. It's always that you didn't save
Links make it a web
  • The a tag wraps clickable content; href holds the destination
  • Relative paths point within your site; absolute URLs leave it
  • A dead link is a promise broken; check yours before anyone else can
