HTML for Beginners

A simple tutorial on the basics of HTML web development.

Have you ever wanted to design a help site for your favourite games, or would you like to design a blog. Well after reading this simple tutorial you will be able to do these things

Getting Started

OK then, to start you need a word application. I would recommend Notepad for Windows or any simple text program. When this is open make sure you're CAPS lock isn't on as sometimes the HTML is a bit unforgiving and may cause an error if it's on, also make sure you know where the ‘<' and the ‘>' are, usually they are by the , and . buttons.

First Taste of HTML

For your first bit of HTML all you need to put in is
<html>
<head>
<title> My first Web Page </title>
</head>
</html>
This is an invisible bit of text, except for the title.
<html> and </html> show that this is a HTML document.
<head> and </head> this is part of the header, your title goes in here.
<title> and </title> this show the name of the web page on the very top bar.

As you can see there are some parts which have a </> in this means the end of that expression. The things that go in between are part of that particular part. For example things between <head> parts of the header </head>. Now you have done that part, now time to move onto the next section

Body Section

<html>
<head>
<title> Your Web Title </title>
</head>
<body>
<p> Your first bit of text </p>
</ br>
<p><b> Your first bit of bold text</b></p>
</ br>
<p><i>your first bit of italic text</i></p>
This is a few very simple examples of different styles in the body text. Included is:
<p> new paragraph </p>
Break </ br>
<b> Bold text </b>
<i> italic text </i>
This is what this web page would look like:

Saving Your Work

To save simply press save, and then type into the box ‘wanted title'.htm/html eg.Webpage.htm Webpage.html

Thank-You for reading this tutorial. This is a basics only tutorial. Unless I get requests I won't be making an advanced version.

For now good-bye and enjoy your web creations.
