Can someone help me make a basic "About Me" page in HTML? For School

I'm sure most of you could write code circles around me.

I just started taking classes for computer technologies and right now we are assigned to make a single "About Me" web page. I'm not asking you to make it for me. I wouldn't mind Skyping someone and asking them questions or even screensharing. Cause sometimes I fuck up and I'm not sure what went wrong lol.

If anyone has some extra time reply or message me!

What are the specifics that you need on the page, I know Codecademy basically does this as their HTML course(I hope) where you basically make an about me page.

This is what my first page needs, it eventually will be a 5 page website. (Hopefully lol.)

Quote:Some items to include on your "About" page:

Photograph - professional-looking headshot (nothing awkward or cheesy)
Biography (Bio) - short paragraphs, lots of white space
Your contact information
A link to your resume
Links to your social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook is optional.)

You could just simply make divs for each section then I guess. Headshot can be centred in the middle inside one div, the next div being the bio information, then contact & link can be inside one, and then if you wanted to be creative, use social media logo images to link social media.

Or if you wanted it to be a little easier, you could just throw everything inside one 'container' div.
<img src=""></img> (photo)
<br/> (Forces content to next line)
<p>text for bio</p>
<br/>
<p>contact</p>
<br/>
<p><a href="">Resume</a></p>
<p><a href="">Facebook</a> - <a href="">Twitter</a> - <a href="">LinkedIn</a>

Hopefully that helps, it isn't a highly difficult task and it sounds like you have learnt a little HTML. I'd jump on skype myself but I am heading to sleep soon I'm afraid, but maybe that makes sense/helps? Not sure if the above HTML actually works if you put it in, you'd just need to style it.

I would definitely love to Skype man! I will see what I can use with that code, thank you for that. I will message you.
Should really not be that hard. Do you have a remote server to work on or are you simply working locally (As it's just an HTML page, probably the latter) If you want, hit me up with your Skype and I'll see what I can assist you on.

I will be working locally, it is just an HTML page you are correct. I just PMed you.

You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs.
If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way.
We do.
