Special Tag Considerations

"These considerations will enable a more efficient way of working with HTML."

 

Comment Tags

One of the most helpful methods of keeping track of a complicated HTMl page and allowing for multiple people to work on the same page consistently. A contemporary comment tag looks like this:

Tags - a tag is the HTML command that allerts the browser that a new type of information needs to be interpreted - a name in between two brackets:

  • <!-- this is my comment -->
Anything that is placed within the brackets won't be displayed by the browser.

Page Identity, Copyright, and Contact

Site identity and cliear communication are an integral part of interface design. Identifying sites by name and any branded symbol such as a logo is key, both because it helps keep a user oriented, and because there are legal considerations a Web site should address.

Meta Tags

The META tag offers several attributes that, once defined, are picked up by search engines and Web worms crawling through the Web and storing URLs and related informations in their databases.

  • <a href="MyLink.htm">Here is my page.</a>

Standard Linking - there are two methods:

  1. Absolute linking. This method requires the using of a complete URL in the reference. Used when linking to a page that resides on another page.
  2. Relative linking. Linking to a page that resides on same server

Advise: spend some time writing a description for your Web site. Brainstorm clever sensible paragraphs. Keep your writing down to about 20 words total, then work on keywords. Keywords are the anticipation of what people who are looking for your site will be thinking.
