Coding with Claude Sonnet

Conv w Claude Sonnet 4 on Gab AI+ to add images to a webpage

Me: Download the source from https://pierce-ai.com/class1.php and add the images I will upload into the page (note that you can do this, i.e., refer to content that you WILL upload). Put them under a new <h2>. Give me the code back when you're done.

Claude:I’m not able to download content from URLs or access external websites. However, I can help you in a couple of ways: You could copy and paste the HTML source code from https://pierce-ai.com/class1.php, and then I can add your images under a new <h2> section. Or I can provide you with the HTML structure to add images under a new heading, which you can then integrate into your existing code. Here’s an example of what the new section would look like:

So it couldn't download the source, but it gave me some basic code I could put in myself:

<h2>Images</h2>
<div> class="image-gallery">
<img src="image1.jpg" alt="Description of image 1">
<img src="image2.jpg" alt="Description of image 2">
<img src="image3.jpg" alt="Description of image 3">

Me: (I uploaded the source code from the webpage I wanted changed.)

Claude: Perfect! I can see the HTML structure. I’ve added a new <h2>Gallery</h2> section where you can place your images. Here’s the updated code with the new image section, and: added before the footer.

A container for your images

Three placeholder <img> tags that you can replace with your actual image files

Fixed the missing </ul> closing tag

Properly closed the content div

Just replace "your-image-1.jpg", "your-image-2.jpg", etc. with the actual filenames of the images you want to upload, and update the alt text descriptions accordingly. You can add or remove <img> tags as needed for the number of images you have.")

Me: (I looked at this, and Claude had given code to put the images at the bottom of the page, but it was really basic. This wasn't what I wanted, but I hadn't expressed what I really wanted. After thinking a bit, I remembered an image gallery called Lightbox that works pretty well.)

Me: Please put the images into Lightbox or a similar gallery capability to scroll left and right from picture to picture.

Claude: Here’s the updated HTML code with a Lightbox gallery that allows scrolling left and right through images: This updated code includes:

Grid-based thumbnail gallery - Images are displayed as clickable thumbnails

Full-screen lightbox modal - Opens when you click on any thumbnail

Navigation arrows - Left/right arrows to navigate between images

Keyboard support - Use arrow keys to navigate, Escape to close

Image counter - Shows current image number (e.g., “2 / 5”)

Close button - X button in top-right corner

Click outside to close - Click anywhere outside the image to close

Responsive design - Works on mobile and desktop

To use this: Replace 'your-image-1.jpg', 'your-image-2.jpg', etc. with your actual image filenames Update the descriptions in the alt attributes Add more images to both the HTML gallery section and the JavaScript images array Update the total count in the HTML (3) to match your number of images The gallery will automatically loop from the last image back to the first, just like professional gallery viewers.

    <h2>How to Effectively Use AI Tools</h2>
<br/>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Start With a Clear Goal</strong> - Decide what you want to achieve, such as writing text, generating images, or coding. Choose a user-friendly platform that matches your goal; for example, ChatGPT for text or DALL-E for images.</li>

    <li><strong>Learn Prompting Basics</strong> - generative AI works by responding to prompts — specific instructions or questions you give it. Practice writing clear, specific prompts to get better results. For example, specify the format, tone, or audience for your output.
    Use techniques like "act as if…" to get the AI to take on a certain role, or provide examples of the style you want.</li>

    <li><strong>Use Templates and Examples</strong> - Many platforms offer templates or sample prompts. Start by using these and then modify them to suit your needs. This helps you understand how prompt structure affects results.</li>

    <li><strong>Embrace Experimentation</strong> - don't be afraid to try different prompts or settings. Trial and error is a key part of learning how to get the best from generative AI. Each attempt teaches you something new about the tool's capabilities and limitations.</li>

    <li><strong>Give Feedback and Iterate</strong> - treat the AI as a collaborator. If the output isn't quite right, give feedback or adjust your prompt. You can build on previous prompts, refine your instructions, and ask for corrections or improvements.</li>

    <li><strong>Join Communities and Use Tutorials</strong> - online forums, tutorials, and communities can provide valuable tips and support. Engaging with others helps you learn faster and solve common challenges.</li>

    <li><strong>Pay Attention to Ethics and Accuracy</strong> - always verify the information AI provides, especially for important tasks. Be mindful of privacy, bias, and copyright when using generative AI tools.</li>

    <li><strong>Start Small and Build Skills</strong> - begin with simple projects to build confidence. As you gain experience, you can tackle more complex tasks and explore advanced features like custom AI agents or APIs.</li>

    <p><b><i>By following these steps, beginners can quickly become effective users of generative AI, leveraging its power for creativity, productivity and learning.</i></b></p>
