Ok I will start the Beginners HTML Tutorial by telling you what HTML stands for. Well HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. If you are quite new to making websites you will use HTML it is the easiest and best way to start a website. Well here is the begining information you will need to start a website. DON'T worry if you are saying "I will never be able to design a nice looking site" you will it is simple all you have to do is get used to the begining stuff in HTML and then move on and you'll have a nice looking site in no time.
The first thing you need to do before you start even thinking about anything else is add the HEAD commands.
<HTML>
<BODY>
Content
</HTML>
</BODY>
Ok now that you have the required HEAD codes to start your page here is a HEAD code that you should use. This HEAD code will allow the person to know what website they are at by looking at the top left corner of their screen.
<HEAD>
<TITLE> website name here </TITLE>
</HEAD>
Ok so here is the entire HEAD code put together which should be used.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> website name here </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Content
</BODY>
</HTML>
Ok so now you have the HEAD codes that you must use before you start making your website. Ok now that you know how to start a website you need to know some basic codes to place text where you want it to go.
Put the text on the left side of the page <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"> text here </DIV>
Put the text in the middle of the page <CENTER> text here </CENTER>
Put the text on the right side of the page <DIV ALIGN="RIGHT"> text here </DIV>
Ok now that you know where to place the text you probably want to know how to alter the text.
Change the text to be <B> bold </B>
Change the text to be <I> italic </I>
Change the text to be <U> underlined </U>
Change the text to be <S> strikedthru </S>
Change the color of the text by using the name of the color <FONT COLOR="BLUE"> Blue font! </FONT>
OR
Change the color of the text by using color codes (hex codes) <FONT COLOR="0000FF"> Green font! </FONT>
Ok so now you have the HTML codes on how to alter the text. Ok now that you know how to change the text you need to know how to change the background so the text stands out.
Change the background color by using the name of the color <BODY BGCOLOR="BLACK">
OR
Change the background color by using color codes (hex codes) <BODY BGCOLOR="000000">
Ok if you dont feel like using a color for your background you can use any type of picture or texture you want for the background.
Change the background to any picture or texture you want <BODY BACKGROUND="image.gif">
Ok so now you know how to put a background onto your page. Ok now you must know how to make a clickable link to another website and how to make a clickable link for a person to e-mail you.
Have a person checkout a website by clicking on a link <A HREF="http://www.rnphtml.com"> Website Name Here </A>
Have a person e-mail you by clicking on a link <A HREF="mailto:xero18@optonline.net"> Contact Me </A>
