You can edit an HTML document using a text editor such as NotePad, or TextEdit on Windows.  You can also use an HTML editor such as Adobe Dreamweaver.  Use the following steps to open an HTML document.  Navigate to your HTML document in File Explorer on Windows, or the Finder on Mac. Right-click the HTML document you want to edit. Hover over Open with. Click the program you want to edit the document with. To add a regular space, click where you want to add the space and press the spacebar.  Normally, HTML will only display one space between words, no matter how many times you press the space bar. This is called a non-breaking space because it prevents a line break at its location.   For example, typing Hello &nbsp; there! would result in an extra space between "Hello" and "there!" If you overuse this character, browsers will have trouble inserting line breaks in a tidy, readable way.  You can also type &#160; to force a space. You can insert a longer space by using any one of the following options:   Two spaces - Type &ensp;   Four spaces - Type &emsp;   Indent - Type &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Summary: Open an HTML document. Press space to add a normal space. Type &nbsp; to force an extra space. Insert spaces of different widths.


The idea behind this style is that you should begin with the most important elements (the "head" points) and refine each of those all the way to the basic level. This can be divided into roughly three stages:  The section-level outline The subsection-level outline The paragraph-level outline This will give you a better idea of how to get from a blank page to a finished report. Begin with each of your section headings, leaving plenty of space between headings for subsection and paragraph-level information. Avoid being too wordy at this stage, the goal of your outline is to capture the flow and form of your report.  Bullet points are invaluable when you reach the paragraph level of your report. These will allow you to note important terms, phrases, and data that will need to be integrated with the text of your report. Take special note, at the paragraph level, of important symbols, protocols, algorithms, and jargon. You will need to weave these into the text of your report in a way that is logical and intuitive. Use a unique bullet to indicate where an image must be integrated into your report. You might also consider using using simple figures as a way of cutting down unnecessary wordiness. Highlighters can help you color code and coordinate sections of your outline with supplemental papers, like research, print-outs, and hand-outs. A colorful sticky note, on the other hand, can alert you to something you've forgotten or have yet to do, like making a graph from your data.

Summary: Familiarize yourself with the top-down approach. Write your initial outline in top-down style. Remember figures, tables, and graphs at the paragraph-level. Use organizational tools, like highlighters and sticky notes.


Poems are meant to listened to as well as read on the page. Take the time to read the poem aloud and pay attention to how the words sound. Notice if you connect with particular lines or words in the poem when you read it aloud. Try reading it aloud several times to deepen your understanding of it. Another way to make the poem come alive is to try to find a recording of the poet who wrote the poem reading their work. Poets often perform their poems when they read, making them feel more engaging and interesting. Look for recordings of the poem online or through the sound archives at your local library. Many modern poets have recordings of their work that is available for free. Try looking for a recording of the poem here: https://www.poetryarchive.org/ or here: https://www.nysoclib.org/collection/poets-reading-poetry. Look for poetry readings at local cafes or bars. Attend open mic nights that feature poetry. Check if a poet you like is performing at a venue in your area and go see them read. Live poetry readings are a great way to experience poetry as entertainment that you watch and listen to. You may make it a habit to go to live poetry readings regularly so you are exposed to different poets and their reading styles.

Summary: Read the poem aloud several times. Listen to poets reading their own poems. Go to a live poetry reading in your area.


If you plan on driving your newborn home from the hospital, you’ll need to strap them into a car seat.  Only buy government approved car seats that have high safety ratings. If your partner plans on breastfeeding, buy some cotton nursing bras.  If you decide to feed your baby formula, buy some baby bottles.  Additionally, buy a cleaning brush if your baby bottles do not come packaged with one. Your baby should not use a dummy until they’re at least six months old, but you could choose to buy one at this point if you so desire. The obvious necessities for your baby’s room are the crib, blankets, and pillows.  However, you might also want a changing station -- a large piece of furniture designed for changing your baby’s diaper -- and a small dresser for baby clothes.  Nontoxic, baby-safe toys and/or a hanging mobile are also good purchases in advance of your newborn’s arrival. Your baby will need shirts, pants, and socks ready for them before they are born.  If possible, buy baby clothes at second-hand stores, since your newborn will grow fast and not get much use out of their clothing. Whether you buy new or used baby clothes, wash them before use. Stock up on diapers before your baby arrives.  If you plan on using a diaper delivery service, ensure that the first delivery arrives before your newborn’s due date.
Summary: Get a car seat. Purchase feeding supplies. Buy goods for the baby’s room. Buy baby clothes. Purchase diapers.
