How to Make a Webpage Using HTML - Part I

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. As described in the abstract area, HTML is a computer language. To start off, open up your notepad. Type in the command:

All of your HTML will be included within these brackets. Basically these commands tell the computer that this is not just words, but rather everything inbetween will be read as HTML, unless commanded otherwise. Make sure you include the "<" and ">" when typing, I did not put those there on accident. Next, you want to command the computer to make a heading and title for your webpage. The title is what will appear on the blue bar at the top of the window. The command for this is:

Title for your webpage here


Other things may be added into the head area, but the title is all that will be needed as of now. The next thing you need to do is start filling in your page with text. The area in which the text, pictures, tables, and anything else you want people to see goes within the body tags. With body tags added, your notepad should look like this:

My Webpage

Keep in mind that the space I put in between the body tags makes no difference. To specify whether you want a space or inent, you need to type a separate command, or else:

this

will turn out exactly the same on the webpage as;

t h i s

Now you can start adding text. You can separate text into paragraphs by typing in the command:

I haven't mentioned it before, but the

command ends the command. This means that whatever is put inbetween the

and the

is one paragraph. Next tutorial will be a tutorial on how to add things such as pictures, marquees, links, and if you're lucky, I'll introduce you to the beginner's level of table making.
