HTML Media – Images, Audio, and Video
And now we learn how to add **media content** to websites:
✅ Images (photos, logos, icons)
✅ Audio (music, podcasts)
✅ Video (lessons, intros) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌄 1️⃣ Adding Images with <img>
✅ Basic Syntax: <img src="image-url" alt="Alternative Text">
src → Path or link to the image file
alt → Text description if image doesn't load
✅ Example:
<img src="https://placekitten.com/300/200" alt="Cute kitten image"> ✅ Notes:
Always use alt for accessibility (for blind users or if image is missing).
Supported formats: .jpg, .png, .gif, .webp
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 2️⃣ Controlling Image Size
You can control width and height using attributes:
<img src="photo.jpg" alt="My photo" width="300" height="200"> ✅ Or better: use CSS for full control (coming next week).
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎧 3️⃣ Embedding Audio
✅ Basic Syntax:
<audio controls> <source src="audio-file.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio> ✅ Important:
Always include controls so users can play, pause, and control volume.
Supported formats: .mp3, .ogg, .wav
✅ Example:
<audio controls> <source src="buna-music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> </audio> ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎥 4️⃣ Embedding Video
✅ Basic Syntax:
<video
width="320"
height="240"
controls>
<source src="video-file.mp4"
type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ✅ Example:
<video width="500" height="300" controls> <source src="intro-video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> ✅ Notes:
Use width and height to control size.
formats: .mp4 (most common), .webm, .ogg
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌐 5️⃣ Embedding External Media (YouTube, SoundCloud)
Sometimes you want to embed a YouTube video directly:
✅ Example:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📂 6️⃣ Real-World Example:
Music Café Website
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Music Café</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to Music Café</h1>
<img src="coffee.jpg" alt="Cup of coffee" width="300">
<h2>Now Playing</h2>
<audio controls> <source src="ethiopian-jazz.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> </audio>
<h2>Watch Our Story</h2>
<video width="500" controls> <source src="cafe-tour.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video>
</body>
</html> ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 Why Media Matters in Websites:
✅ Makes pages more attractive
✅ Engages visitors
✅ Shares information in visual/audio form

📚 Week 1 Day 5: Final HTML Lesson
Semantic HTML, Meta Tags, Accessibility, Best Practices
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌟 Why This Lesson?
By now, you know how to structure pages with:
➤ Headings
➤ Paragraphs
➤ Forms, Tables, Divs, Media Now, let’s focus on writing cleaner, more organized, and more professional HTML code using:
- Semantic HTML
- Meta tags
- Accessibility (A11y) basics
- Best practices
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ 1️⃣ What Is Semantic HTML?
Semantic = Meaningful.
Semantic HTML uses tags that describe their purpose. Instead of just using <div> everywhere, we now use:
- <header> → Top of the page: logo, menu
- <nav> → Navigation links
- <main> → Main content
- <section> → A specific group of content
- <article> → Independent content like blog posts
- <aside> → Sidebar content
- <footer> → Bottom section: contact, copyright
🎯 Why Use It?
- Improves SEO (Google loves it!)
- Improves accessibility for screen readers
- Makes your code easier to read
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ 2️⃣ Real-World Example Layout
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Betelhem's Blog</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Betelhem’s Blog</h1>
<nav>
<a href="#">Home</a>
<a href="#">About</a>
<a href="#">Contact</a>
</nav>
</header>
<main>
<article>
<h2>My First Blog Post</h2>
<p>Today, I learned Semantic HTML!</p>
</article>
<aside>
<h3>Quick Links</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">HTML Tips</a></li>
<li><a href="#">CSS Basics</a></li>
</ul>
</aside>
</main>
<footer>
<p>© 2025 Betelhem. All rights reserved.</p>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ 3️⃣ What Are Meta Tags?
Meta tags go inside the <head> to give the browser information about your page.
Essential meta tags:
- <meta charset="UTF-8"> → Supports Amharic, Tigrinya, all languages
- <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> → Makes page responsive
- <meta name="description" content="Learn web development step by step.">
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ 4️⃣ Accessibility Basics (A11y)
➤ alt attribute on images: <img src="injera.jpg" alt="Traditional Ethiopian Injera Plate">
➤ Use <label> for form inputs: <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="email" id="email">
➤ Don’t rely only on color for important information
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ 5️⃣ HTML Entities Special symbols written as codes:
- < = <
- > = >
- © = ©
- & = &
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ 6️⃣ HTML Comments
Write notes for yourself or other developers:
<!-- This is a comment. It doesn’t show on the page. -->
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ 7️⃣ Best Practices Review
➺Use semantic tags instead of too many <div>s
➺Indent your code properly
➺ Always write alt text for images
➺ Keep your file names clear: ➤ about.html, contact.html

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content. Other technologies besides HTML are generally used to describe a web page's appearance/presentation (CSS) or functionality/behavior…

✅ Steps to Follow When Coding with HTML
1️⃣ List the Common Sections First
Before opening your editor, think about what most pages usually have:
Header: Title, logo, menu
Navigation (Nav): Links to different parts
Main Content: Text, images, tables, forms
Footer: © 2025, contact info, terms and conditions
👉 Writing this down helps you organize your thoughts.
---
2️⃣ Make a Simple Structure Sketch
Take a paper or digital note
Draw rough boxes showing where things will go:
➤ Top = Header
➤ Middle = Main Content
➤ Bottom = Footer
💡 This helps you see the layout before coding.
---
3️⃣ Sort and Prepare Your Content
Decide what text, images, tables, forms, or links you'll include:
Which headings?
Which paragraphs?
Will there be a form or table?
Where will images go?
📌 This keeps things clear instead of just guessing while coding.
---
4️⃣ Start Writing Your HTML Code
Open VS Code, TrebEdit, or any text editor
Build your page using correct HTML structure:
➤ Write semantic tags like <header>, <main>, <footer>
➤ Add content step by step
---
5️⃣ Check and Debug
Open your .html file in a browser
Make sure everything shows up correctly
Fix missing tags, typos, or broken links/images
✅ Bonus Tip:
Keep saving your file as you work to avoid losing progress
