that have been saved and we come down here about a week after the launch and let's just click on that and see what we get. Well, there we have it.

The little image at the top didn't come through. That's okay, we're not going to model that. Anyway, so here's our Yahoo
0:21
we have a new, and a cool, and the brand at the top and the news, and more Yahoo and then we just have a listing
0:28
like, here's all the arts and humanities and here's education, or if you want K12, you go in here. And this is basically a Yellow Page of the internet
0:37
put together by actual humans going around and looking for stuff that's cool and categorizing it. And this literally predates search engines
0:44
and Google, and things like that, it's pretty wild. But notice the HTML is really quite simple. So what we're going to do

So we're going to get this and we're going to built this it'll be quite a bit of fun. So you can go find it in the Wayback Machine
1:06
if you want to try this we'll talk about your turn chef when we get to it later. We're going to build this cool little website
1:12
and learn a little bit of HTML 5 while we're doing it.
