To make a basic page in HTML, here are the main "tags" you will use:
html = lets the browser know the page is written in html
head = this contains information about the document
title = puts the name of the page in the header of the browser window
body = this is the bulk of your page
One thing to remember is that most tags need opening and closing tags so the browser knows when to start a command and when to stop it. So, it's a good idea to always use closing tags to get into the habit.
An opening tag is written inside brackets <tag> and closing tags are written inside brackets with a slash </tag>
First, open an editor such as notepad and begin typing...
Code:
<html>
<head><title>you can type the name of your site here</title></head>
<body>
The information you want seen on the page will be written here.
</body>
</html>
Then when you save your work, save it with .html after the name of your page... that way your computer knows that it is a web page and not a text (.txt) file. After it is saved, go to where you saved it, double click on it, and, if you did everything correctly, it will open a browser window with your page.
Congratulations!! You just made your first html web page!!
