Web pages dont have to be hard!

So you want to make your very own website, or maybe you just want to enhance a web profile, but you dont know. Well, heres your lucky guide. Im gonna give all the codes and explain what they do so you can set up your own html coding. Then i will also give links to other helpful sites, so eventually you can be a Web Designer Master!!

Um...the basics, very very basic and simplified

tags are the commands html uses/decodes to figure out what to do. html is like a language for the computer.
in html, just plain html- not css, or div/style- capilization is not important. a <HTML> or <P>tag is just as effective as an <html> or <p> tag is.
for this guide, i will be writting the text that will show up on your web page in itallics, and the tags for the effect around the text. It will look like this:
<font>text </font>
You will have to type the codes inbetween the "<" ">", including the "<" ">" themselves. That makes up a tag.
dont put spaces unless the tag has it there. most tags are one words.
ok, when typing the tags, it does not matter when you enter/return in the middle of two tags. Each tag can have its own line, or they all can be on one very long line. If you put the tags all on one line, it is probable that you will not beable to see errors making it difficult to fix a problem. i return alot.
However, it does matter if you return in the middel of a tag. <ht ml> will not work like <html> does.
To start any web page you have to begin with the <html> tag and then the <head> tag. I don't remember what the head does, but the html tells your computer to read your text as html language.
Next type <title> </title>. Between the two title tag's, you can put text. This will show up as the words that appear in the top of internet pages. For example, this page shoul say "codes."
After ever tag, you must "end the tag" this tells the computer that between the tag and end tag a certain thing must happen, but it will not happen after the end tag. end tags are always "< /" and tag name ">", as with </title>
so now end the head tag with </head>. *Do not end the html tag, for that will make the computer not de-code anything else after it. The html end tag goes after everything that you want in the web page.
Next comes the <body>tag. This tells the computer that everything after it is text, unless put more tags in. Anything written in this space will show up on your web page.
when done with text, end the body tag, and then the html tag.

Now that you have the basics for every web page, we will go into speical effects. Click on the link in the table for tags concerning the categories shown.
