HTML Button Tutorial

Pointless Button
Today I've got a tutorial on how to make a pointless button in HTML. It is simple and requires on piece of code, shown below.

Code:
<input type="button" value="Pointless Button" /><br />

You can use it to submit forms, and more. The input type does not matter for the most part, and the
value="your button name here" 
changes what the button text displays. You can use the button as a pointless button, as seen above, or configure it to a forum to submit. Either way, the code is nice to have.

Form Button
Here is a more, yet low, functionality button used in forms or pages in which you'd like to redirect to another page on a site. Here this button sends you to our news section of the site which has not been completed, coming soon! 

Code:
<form method="get" action="/news">
    <button type="submit">News</button>


Here is a form code, which will redirect you to the /anypageonasite.
For blogger, you will have to do /p/pagename.html.
For most sites, you will have to do /page or /page.html or /page.filetype

Link Button
Use this code if you'd like full control over where a button takes you. This allows you the control over where and where you move.

Code for Google:
<form action="http://google.com">
    <input type="submit" value="Go to Google">
</form>



Code for FitzWeekly Home:
<form action="http://fitzweekly.com">
    <input type="submit" value="Home">
</form>

New MacBook Pro coming September?


A new MacBook Pro may be released soon, around September following Apple's release cycle. The new iPhone 5S may be released then as well, but we'll really have to wait and see. 
As for the chips themselves, the International Business Times reported that Apple has asked Intel to provide an “ultra-high performance” version of the Haswell CPU for use in the new MacBook Pro. Apple requested that the special Haswell chips be fitted with Intel’s top-of-the-line GT3e (Iris Pro 5200) integrated graphics.
The Diplomat

As far as past release cycles, the Macbook Pro should have two options, Retina and non-retina. As almost every Apple all-in-one device sports a retina display, Apple may eliminate the barrior between Retina and non-retina with this release.

Surviving School Tip #1: School Supplies



School is just around the corner- have you gotten your school supplies yet? If you apply my tips below to your shopping, I can assure you that you'll save some money, time, and space. 

1. Print off the school supply list for your school. Be sure to get everything that your teachers recommended (including colors.) It would be a shame if you started the year off on the wrong foot with your teacher by not following easy directions. 

2. Think about last year. Ask yourself, "What did I use a lot of? Did I run out of anything?" If you answered yes, get extras of those supplies. I get about 50 mechanical pencils when shopping, because later in the year they cost a lot more. 

3. Get a planner if your school doesn't supply you one, or if you don't care for the one they give you. Make sure that your planner has enough room for you to write all of your homework and agenda down in a normal size. If you use it for a week and notice that you are forgetting assignments and after school activities, it is time to try something else.

4. Go shopping on tax free weekend if you are wanting to save some money. Check your state to see if they offer this, and if any restrictions apply. I do have to warn you that tax free weekend is CRAZY, and I personally don't think that it is worth it. 

5. Binders take up lots of space, and they fall apart easily. Try using a Hybrid Note binder by Mead. They are around $10-15 each USD, and you can find them at your local office supply store. I wouldn't recommend buying one for every class (mainly because of the price), but they are nice to use for maybe one special class (I use mine for Spanish) and then one for general use. Ex. folders for each class, planner, notebook paper, etc. 

6. Keep an eye out for the classic coupons. The savings add up fast!

I know that I didn't cover too much in this post, so if you have any questions/comments/suggestions please ask down in the comments! Happy shopping!
