Ada’s Journal
Another attribute, another tiny HTML adjustment. Is this entire curriculum just going to be me adding one tiny thing to my code? Professor Babbage would probably say precision matters, but right now I’m feeling like I’m just shuffling commas around.
The target attribute feels weirdly specific. Open a link in a new tab? That’s… a whole attribute? I guess web developers really care about user experience. Or maybe they just want to make sure people don’t navigate away from their site. Sneaky.
I’m starting to recognize the pattern in these lessons. They introduce something small, make me add it exactly where they want, and then act like I’ve conquered web development. But fine. New tab incoming.

Professor Babbage’s Review
Correct. You added the target attribute to the right link. Your journal captures something real about these incremental lessons, though “shuffling commas around” undersells what you’re actually learning.
Grade: Good
What Went Well
- Target attribute correctly placed on the second anchor element
- Proper syntax with quotes around _blank value
Room for Improvement
- None.
