Building a prototype website

Since this morning, I have been working on building a prototype website as a fun way of getting the hang of HTML.
I posted my code for the prototype below, the end goal is to have it display multiple videos at once. Right now, I have one embedded video embedded from one of my favorite educational YouTube channels, PBS SpaceTime. I've entered my code below, expect for an update tomorrow and a change in concept. The first version of it is just to see how to embed videos and code the bullet list in HTML files.

What I like about the website:

  • It is playing the embedded video fine
  • It includes a title and bullet points stating my current thoughts
  • Website makes use of attributes for later organization

What I dislike:
-Too much empty space
-Very basic design overall due to lack of CSS involvement
-Needs more videos
-Needs to include hyperlink text
-Lacks background color and design scheme
