3. This recipe tastes best when chilled. So, put it in the refrigerator after it has cooled for a while.

The wonderful way in which the columns of ingredients are displayed in this recipe was made possible through use of the PRE tag. It allows you to preformat an area of your web page.
USING GIMP TO MAKE AN IMAGE:
You will create your own image to use as a horizontal rule for this assignment. Here is how you do it:
  1. In a terminal window type "gimp".
  2. Once The GIMP is fully loaded select File->New
  3. In the New Image window change the Width to 10 and the Height to 10 and press the OK button
  4. Next double click on the black square at the bottom, left side of The Gimp main tool pallete.
  5. The Color Selection Window will pop open. Set the sliders for red (R) and green (G) to 255 and the slider for blue (B) to 0 and close this window.
  6. Select the bucket tool from the tool pallete and click in the middle of your image to fill your image with yellow.
  7. Right click and hold on your image, pull down to File->Save. Select JPEG for the Determine File Type field and type in "yellow.jpg" in the bottom field and click the OK button.
Once you have done all this you should have a file called yellow.jpg in your home directory which you can use on your web page.

After you have completed the basic recipe (modeled after the example above), alter the recipe so that it has six times the ingredients (modeled after the recipe given below... you don't have to repeat the instructions for this one).
