For everyone who possesses their own website, it is very important to know of some basic website programming, even if they are not programmers. There will come lots of times when you will need to change something and it really pays to know your way around HTML. What’s even better is that HTML is REALLY simple and very easy to learn and even master.
HTML actually means HyperText Markup Language and it’s really the way browsers read content in order to appear them to their users. In order to better grasp the HTML concept, it’s quite essential to understand that it is based around simple tags. For instance, the tag <HTML> provides the entry point to the html page and it’s really where the html code starts and </HTML> provides that ending tag of the html code. Almost all HTML tags share the same starting and ending tag system. Moreover, an HTML document is comprised of these three important tags:
<HTML> </HTML> – Starting and Ending Tag marking the beginning and end of the html in the document
<HEAD> </HEAD> – Contains important meta tags, title, description and auxiliary information about a webpage
<BODY> </BODY> – It’s in fact the content that appears to users via their web browsers
A very simple html document would be like:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My HTML Website !</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1> Welcome !!! </H1>
<p> This is my first paragraph !</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>
You can see that HTML is really very easy to utilize. The <H1> tag is in fact a header tag. Headers in HTML have a number from 1 to 6 with 1 being the biggest font size available. The <p> tag indicates the start of a paragraph and </p> the end of that paragraph.
I find it much easier to learn by watching a video and therefore i would like to give you a nice series of youtube videos to watch.
