Part 1 Getting Started
First, in order to get started there are a few
simple rules to remember.
-
HTML commands are placed inside of less-than and greater-than signs,
< and > known as Tags.
-
Most Tags you start must be closed at some point. That is done with a
forward slash(/). Example:
<HTML> which starts a Web Page, would be finished with a </HTML>. That ends the effect of the first <HTML>.
-
The Tags are done in a first in last out order. For example
<CENTER><H1> must
be closed in this order: </H1></CENTER>. Doing it like
</CENTER></H1> will not work.
At the beginning of your page you must put <HTML>. This lets the browser know
that it is an HTML document. Also, go ahead and put the </HTML> in on the line below
it. This is the end of the document. Just put everything else from the tutorial in between
those points.
The next Tag you need is the <HEAD> Tag. The <HEAD> Tag
contains information about the document. This information is mainly for the browser
viewing the page as well as search engines and more. Within the <HEAD> Tag go
ahead and put <TITLE>. This is to let the browser know the title of your page. Go
ahead and name this "MY First Page". Then close off your Tags. Now your HTML
should look like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>My First Page</TITLE></HEAD>
</HTML>
While there are things other than just
<TITLE> that can go in-between the
<HEAD> Tag, that is all we are going to touch on in this tutorial.
<TITLE> is also the only one that must appear between the <HEAD> Tags.
Now insert the <BODY>
and </BODY> Tags. Between these Tags is
where the bulk of your code will go. The finished code should look like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>My First Page</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
