Week 8 Notes and Muddiest Point

Notes:
W3school tutorial: This tutorial was very helpful. Everything was broken down, very clear and concise.
HTML Cheat sheet: This list of codes would be very helpful for setting up a page.
W3school Cascading Style Sheet: I had never heard of these, so it was interesting to learn that styles define how to display HTML elements. Again, the examples were nice for demonstrating points.
Beyond HTML article: This article was a lot to take in. It basically talked about a content management system meant to manage 30 web-based research guides. It seems that you would need, like in this article, to have a very knowledgeable web team in place to make such a system.

Muddiest Point:
I am curious, since it keeps coming up, why there is so much redundancy on the Web. With 30-40% of content duplicated, are there people trying to get rid of this, or is no one really concerned?

many information are duplicated with intention, like mirror sites. some others are repeated because of the same source, like CNN and MSNBC all report a news from AP. so lots of time the duplicated information is there and cannot be removed.
