The BeginningNothing makes people feel like they've accomplished something like creating a web or home page...from scratch! Although it may be easier to use an editor or program that lets you "drag and drop" the codes or images to where you want them located on your page, they don't give you the understanding of how creating a page REALLY works. They are mostly WYSIWYG(What You See Is What You Get). That's where this tutorial comes in to play. In the upper left-hand corner is a template you can use to start your own page. During the rest of this tutorial, we'll be adding <HTML> (HyperText Markup Language) tags to the template to make the page come alive. The first tags of any HTML document are the <HTML> and </HTML> tag pair. This lets the browser know what langauge you are going to be writing in. Next is the <HEAD> and </HEAD> pair. These are where you can do some programming or put any information that you want hidden. In later lessons, we will be adding JavaScript and cascading style sheets to this area. This brings us to the <TITLE> and </TITLE> pair. Typing these will put a title in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. This should be the name of your page. Most of your content will be between the self-explanitory <BODY> and </BODY> tags. Here is where most of your work will be done. You'll learn how to manipulate these tags as well as others in later lessons. The two sets of tags that you see, <CENTER> and <H1>, are just a few of the many tags we will be showing you in the rest of this tutorial. You can click on the "Demo" links to see whether or not you are entering the lines correctly and check to see if your page looks like ours. You can move back and forth through this tutorial by clicking the "Previous", "Home", or "Next" links. If you have any questions, you can ask them by clicking on the email link at the bottom of each page.

Question: That's it? That's the "magic" of HTML? I thought I was going to learn something important. Isn't there anything else? Answer: WOW!! Tough crowd. No that's not it and yes there is something else. Let's learn about fonts. | |||
