Getting
Started
To make your
website you can use any text editor like Notepad or use HTML building
programs like Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Front Page, etc.....
(Check out http://www.download.com
for more). You can use whatever you find more comfortable. Just click
on the links to the left to navigate through the information.
In all web pages you need these basic tags to start your web page. Open
your HTML editor, notepad, or any other text program and type this code
in. When you save it, save it as index.html that tells the program to
save it as a webpage. Just like Microsoft Word documents are .doc and
executable programs are .exe HTML has its own extension which is .html
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
Wassup!
</body>
</html>
All
web pages need the html tag to open a web page. To close a tag you
put a / in front of it (ie. </body>).
After the opening html tag comes the head tags and inside them
you put the title tags. Whatever you type in the title tags shows
up on the top of the visitors browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape).
Inside the head tags you would put things such as JavaScript and CSS.
After those comes the body tag. Most of the coding goes inside the
body tags.
HTML coding does not have to be in all caps or in all lower case.
Another thing to remember is that you should always be organized when
typing code so that you can fix your errors and make updates easily.
What I mean about being neat is that you have to type codes in different
lines instead of everything on one line. You should never leave space
inside the tags either (ie. < body>). |
