Hello! So you must have clicked this link to begin learning HTML so we'll run through the basics.HTML is the base language for writing websites. It is very easy to use and understand but it's very basic. A combination of HTML and CSS will get you an amazing looking website in no time!
HTML can be written in any text editor, like Notepad for example. All you have to do is write up the code and then save it as a .html file. It couldn't be easier. Although I wouldn't recommend using Notepad as it's all black and white and when writing lines and lines of code you need something more. I recommend downloading Notepad++, it's used by programmers and web developers worldwide. And it has Syntax Highlighting. It can be downloaded for free so just go ahead and Google it.
Right, lets get to it. All HTML pages you write will have a basic structure. This is...
- Code:
-
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The HTML tags state where the site begins and ends.
The HEAD tags is simply information in the head of the website, e.g links to CSS, and the websites title which appears in the tab of the internet browser.
The BODY tags are where you will put all the site content, so headers, images etc.
Simple. I will be uploading more advanced tutorials soon so keep updated!
