 * combine list types
 * use customized list formatting

Keywords
 * ordered, unordered, definition, style

Study notes
 * What are the types of lists available?
 * How can list appearance be altered?
 * What are some of the customizations that can be added to list appearances?

 * Wendy Willard - Chapter 10. Creating Lists
 * HTML Dog HTML Beginner Tutorial
 * Visual Quickstart - 15. Lists

Copyright, fair use
 * Campur Guide to Copyright - overview of copyright law and fair use, information on increasingly complex compliance issues such as the use and distribution of copyrighted material in the online environment
 * Copyright for Website Content – A Web Developer’s Guide
 * Copyright on the Web - really simple: If you did not write or create the article, graphic, or data that you found, then you need permission from the owner before you can copy it
 * Copyright Basis for Graphic Designers - Except under certain circumstances (see “work made for hire” below), you own the copyright in your work at the moment you create it in a “fixed” form of “expression.”

Web page formatting
 * F-Shaped Pattern For Reading Web Content - Eyetracking visualizations show that users often read Web pages in an F-shaped pattern: two horizontal stripes followed by a vertical stripe. F for fast. That's how users read your precious content. In a few seconds, their eyes move at amazing speeds across your websites words in a pattern that's very different from what you learned in school.

In the WebLiteracy - Building discussion, post a brief note (1-2 sentences) about your understanding and skills in the Infrastructure area.


 * 1) Copyrights, fair use - There is a lot of really good information on the web. Rather than creating your own material, it may be easier to use what someone else already created.
