 # Build your own Web portfolio
 
+## Why?
+
+* Why are we here today?
+
+* Why should you have an online portfolio?
+
+* Why bother with the Web?
+
+### How many hours do you spend on the Web every day? 
+
+Pretty much anything you do is in some way related to the Web. 
+
+You communicate with your friends on the Web, you buy and sell stuff from strangers, you consume entertainment (music, videos, pictures), you find information, you can find jobs, and you can promote yourself on the Web...
+
+### Become Web-literate
+
+In a short time (~20 years) the Web has disrupted every industry it touched. The creative industries are no exception. 
+
+<!--
+Today is not about becoming professional coders (although this could be your starting point), but rather to become **confident in tinkering with code**. To see code as a **toolbox**, and not something **scary** or too **complex**.
+-->
+
+No matter what your dream job is, as a **creative professional in the 21st century you can’t be Web-illiterate**. Just like you have to be able to read and write, and do some maths. 
+
+You need to understand a bit of code and have a presence online. 
+
+<!-- You don't have to be a geek/nerd, the Web is for *everyone*. -->
+
+Becoming Web-literate will enable you to use the Web as an **open platform**, a place where you can be a **maker**, instead of a **consumer**. 
+
+<!-- Also it's a highly paid industry. -->
+
+

-It is important to understand what `height: 100%;`means: _the full height of the parent element_. It doesn't magically mean *the height of the browser window*. So if you want your main container to have the height of the browser window, setting `height: 100%;` isn’t enough.

-_Why?_ Because the parent of your `section` (`body`) has its height set by default to `auto`, which means it is sized according to its _content_. You can try adding `height: 100%;` to the `body` element to see… it is still not enough.
