Learning HTML can be hard and take a long time. But I have studied HTML for a while now, and I came up with a quick way to learn the basics. By the time I have shared my tips with you here, you too should be able to create a basic web site!
Okay, here goes. Every time you start to write HTML, you use brackets. They look like this: <html> </html>
You have to close off after you type the words you want. But you only use the </html> AFTER you finish everything.
Okay, let's move on to the heads. The heading looks like this: <head> </head> The head is to let the computer know that in the head, there is going to be a heading.
Next, is the title. Titles look like this: <title></title> Between the title goes your heading that will appear on the very top boarder of the internet when open.
Now for the body. Body looks like this: <body> </body>
The body is where you write your messages and/or text about the site.
There is a paragraph bracket that looks like this: <p> </p> Every time you want to write something outside of the body, you use the <p> to write the things you need to write and </p> to end what you wrote.
After all this, you use </html> to close everything and to tell the computer you're ready to put your HTML text on a web site.
The entire basic layout for HTML looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>....................</title>
</head>
<body>...................................................
...............................................................
</body>
</html>
The dots are where you type your information.
On my next tiptoid, I will give you tips on backgrounds, special text, colors, and much more.
Did you get all this? Great! Congratulations! You have mastered the basic HTML! Now go out there and make a web page!
A quick tip - if you have Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, you can see what you're writing in text and HTML because of the split screen.
