About this Web Site
This Web Site was created as my computing project for 1997, I believe that any one who can access the web should be able to have the resources at hand to be able to expand the web. By this, I mean that the information needed to create web sites on the Internet should be easily accessible and understandable.

By the time you have reached the end of this web site you will have the ability to be able to construct a series of linked web pages for any subject that includes formatted text,pictures, and hypertext links to other web pages on the Internet. In short, making web pages should be easy for you to do.

Objectives
This Web Site covers the steps for writing HTML files and provides illustrative examples for creating web pages. In the pages following you will learn to :

What is HTML?
HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the format that tells a web browser how to displays a web page. The documents themselves are plain text files (ASCII) with special "tags" or codes that a web browser knows how to interpret and display on your screen.

You will also need a text editor program capable of creating plain text files i.e. SimpleText for the Macintosh or NotePad for Windows. It is strongly urged that you use the most basic text editor while you learn HTML and then later you can explore some of the many HTML "editors" available. If you use a word processor such as Microsoft Word or Word Perfect then you must save your files as plain ASCII text format. You should also be familiar with switching between multiple applications as well as using the mouse to copy and paste selections of text.

To create this site, I used Notepad and Netscape 3.01 on an IBM machine (486DX40). So I will normally refer to Key commands and such in a PC frame of mind.

Okay, well now that you have seen what this site is all about, it's time to begin with the lessons.
