• First, you need a website to design, but as this is probably your first one,you should get a free one. I suggest going to angelfire.com or geocities.com.Now that you have done that, you are ready to learn HTML, or HyperText Markup Language!
• FIRST, OPEN YOUR WEBSHELL PAGE AND CLICK ON YOUR INDEX.HTML PAGE, THEN CLICK EDIT.
• OH, HEADS UP, YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO PUT THESE< > WHERE I PUT ( ) AROUND SOMETHING.

  * IF I PUT THE BRACKETS AROUND THE TEXT, THE COMPUTER WOULD ACTUALLY DO THOSE COMMANDS INSTEAD OF SHOWING THEM ON THE SCREEN

• type in:

(HTML)

(HEAD)(TITLE)THE TITLE OF THE WEBPAGE(/TITLE)( /HEAD)

(HTML) TELLS YOUR COMPUTER WHAT IT IS DOING. THIS PART OF THE PAGE IS ONE OF THE MOST NECESSARY COMMAND, ALBEIT THE MOST BASIC. (HEAD) GIVES IT A HEADING, (TITLE) GIVES IT A TITLE. WHATEVER YOU TYPE AFTER (TITLE)WILL BE YOUR TITLE. IT SHOULD APPEAR IN THE UPPER LEFTHAND CORNER OF YOUR SCREEN. HOWEVER, YOU DON'T WANT YOUr ENTIRE WEBPAGE TO BE UP THERE, SO YOU CLOSE THE TITLE (/TITLE) AND THE HEAD(/HEAD).

NEXT TYPE:

(BODY BGCOLOR="RED")

(/BODY)

(/HTML)

SO AFTER THE HEAD, WHAT DO YOU DO, OF COURSE? THE BODY! (BODY) WILL CREAT A "BLANK" SPACE TO FILL WITH TEXT, GRAPHICS, ETC.,BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD SPICE THE COMMAND UP A LITTLE AND ADD SOME BACKGROUND COLOR TO IT WHICH IS (BODY BGCOLOR="RED")THE BGCOLOR MUST BE SPECIFIED WITH =" " IT CAN BE ANY COLOR THAT YOUR COMPUTER RECOGNIZES.THEN YOU CLOSE(/BODY) AND (HTML).

YOUR FINISHED PRODUCT SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

(HTML)

(HEAD)(TITLE)THE TITLE(/TITLE)(/HEAD)

(BODY BGCOLOR="RED")

(/BODY)

(/HTML)

• THE ABOVE IS JUST WHAT YOU'VE TYPED IN HTML, AND IT'S REALLY ONLY VERY BASIC, SO WHEN YOU VIEW YOUR WEBPAGE NOW ALL YOU WILL SEE IS A BLANK RED SCREEN. IF YOU WANT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE JUST CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW THAT SAYS BACK TO HOMEDOME TO LEARN HOW TO PUT IN MORE THINGS. NOW THAT YOU KNOW YOUR BASIC HTML YOU ARE READY FOR IT!

P.S. if you want to read the html of any website,you just right-click and scroll down to View Page Source. Personally, i think it is a bit ironic that the source for this website is so complicated (although short) when it is all about the most basic html . . .
