HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is a language for describing webpages.

A tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets <> like tag (<)html(>)

The first tag in a pair is the start (open) tag which looks like (<)html(>). The second tag is the end (close) tag and looks like (<)/html(>)

These are the steps to creating a HTML site:

  • Open up Notepad
  • Type in (<)html(>) and (<)/html(>) somwhere near the bottom
  • Under (<)html(>) type (<)title(>) and put the name that you want to be your title. After you type your title put the end tag (<)/title(>) so it should look like (<)title(>)TITLE(<)/title(>).
  • Under your title tags put (<)body(>) and right above the end (<)/html(>) tag put the end body tag (<)/body>.
  • In between the two body tags you can put any html code you want to further continue your page.

5. Give 3 websites that give good examples of HTML tags to copy and paste

www.quackit.com/html/codes

I feel really good about HTML. At first I didn't really understand the concept of it but now I think I know everything we've gone over like how to make it, what to do to put stuff in it, changing backgrounds. It all revolves around the right codes. If I ever want to make a website, now I know one way to do it.
