HTML Guide

Hello. My name is Richard and I'm going to give you a few simple lessons on how to make a Web Page. You'll be happy to learn that it's really pretty simple. The basic idea is this... A web page is nothing more than a file, a HTML file to be exact. It's called HTML because web page documents have the file extension .html or .htm.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.

OK let s get started !

We are going to open a standard text editor like notepad to start with.

<H1></H1>

Each one of those is called a tag. There is a starting tag and a closing tag. To make a closing tag just add a / to the starting tag. Most, but not all tags have a closing tag. Think of tags as enclosing a bit of text for the browser to interpret. The browser will interpret everything between <html> and </html> as an HTML document. Different tags are interpreted different ways by the browser.

Every HTML document needs a pair of head tags. 

<html>
<head>
</head>
</html>

The only thing we have to concern ourselves with in the head tags (for now) are the title tags. 

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
</html>

And the bulk of the page is going to be within the body tags. 

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
 

Save it as page1.html in a new folder somewhere. In your Notepad window click File then Save As.

You will be presented with the Save As dialog box. Make a new folder by clicking the New Folder icon in the Save As dialog box.
