Introduction

A beginners guide to starting HTML. It is for people who have never written any HTML before and want to learn the basics of HTML.

Our guide consists of short tutorials containing lessons which you should do on your own computer not someone else's. each one Is designed to teach you all the HTML you need for making basic web pages and even more importantly shows you how to edit other HTML web pages.

You don't need to learn HTML to make web pages or websites but it really does help There are many tools including web page editors which make leaning HTML unnecessary for making web pages but I advise against those simply because you NEED to know what is going on and web page editors hide that from you.

it is a fact that today very few people make web pages by hand coding HTML and many web masters probably couldn't. However, if you understand basic HTML then you will find it much easier to make and edit web pages, and more importantly, to insert scripts like Google Adsense and website counters etc into your web pages.

Before you start html you need to have a few basic tools:



Tools needed

A Text editor like notepad or an HTML editor like 1st page.Web Browser like Firefox, Internet explorer or Netscape Navigator.

Lets start by making a web page using notepad and then switch to using 1st page as it is much easier to use and is great for beginners and experts alike.

To make some basic HTML web pages and display them in your web browser You do not need a web server. Everything will be done on our own computer. I recommend you create directory on you computer for these lessons. such as C:webstuff or something … having a separate folder for your html is a good idea as it keeps everything in its own place. I would also recommend having a couple of folders inside that one too.. images to put any website images in and docs to put any notes or ideas you have in.

Lets start learning HTML by making some basic web pages and examining them because learning HTML and then making web pages is boring. But before starting HTML we need to learn a few basics about HTML and web pages.

What are web pages?


Web Pages are simply text pages with special formatting called Tags which describe how the text appears i.e. whether it is bold what color it is which font should be used etc. This formatting is called HTML- Hypertext Mark-up Language.
