Understand Basic HTML

 

HTML is the "language" used in web pages. It's the language which tells the computer how the information contained on the page is to be displayed.

 

Learning the basics of how to understand HTML codes is an important skill. 

Open your site or a template in your web editor.   If you don't have Front Page or Dreamweaver then you might like to get started with a free one... download nvu.

Open your site in the web editor.

You should see a button "code".  Clicking on that will allow you to see what goes on behind the scenes... the HTML for your page.

Here's a list of the most common HTML tags:

  <HTML></HTML>  are the opening and closing tags used at the beginning and end of each HTML file.

  <HEAD></HEAD>  comes after the <HTML> tag and it is where information that is not displayed on the website can be found. It includes META tags, style sheets and Java Scripts.

  <TITLE></TITLE>  is enclosed within the HEAD tags and it is where the title of the web page is placed.

  <BODY></BODY>  it is within these tags that the things displayed on the website can be found.

  <EM></EM>  the tag stands for emphasis. It replaced the <I></I> tags which were used to make the text inside the tags italicized.

  <STRONG></STRONG>  are tags used to make the text within them bold.

  <H1></H1> to <H6></H6>  are used for headers. Placing text within any of these tags makes the font larger or smaller than the normal text and bold.

  <P></P>  placing text within these tags turns them into a single paragraph. A single line break is automatically added below the last line of the displayed text.

 

Being able to identify these basic tags means that you'll be able to fix some of the things that the occasional gremlins do in your web editor!  It happens!
