html help

You don't need to be a professional webmaster/designer to start your own website.
All you need is a domain name and a little html knowledge and that website will become a reality.

To write html you need tags or codes. Most html tags look like this
<tag name here> </tag name here>
The < > tell the browser to start and the </> tell it to stop the tag.
There are a few exceptions such as headers and background audio.

The first tag in any html document is <html> and the last is </html>

<html>
</html>


Next is the HEAD tag. Between the head tags are TITLE and META tags. The Title will be the title of your page.
It is also what will show in the status bar. You will need to use Meta tags if you want to submit your site to search engines.
For more info on meta tags click here.

<html>
<head>
<title>Title of your page here</title>
<meta name="description" content="Your page description here">
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword">
</head>
</html>


The BODY tag comes right after the /head tag.
In the body tag you can set attributes such as background, link, text and visited link colors, or specify an image as a background.
You can also tell the browser to read a certain font or text size.
The </body> tag is the next to last tag in your document just before </html>. The first examle of a body tag uses color for a background.
If you need a hex number for a color go to colors.

<html>
<head>
<title>Title of your page here</title>
<meta name="description" content="Your page description here">
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#color" text="#color" link="#color" vlink="#color">
All the stuff you want on your page goes here.
</body>
</html>


The next example of a BODY tag uses an image as a background.

<html>
<head>
<title>Title of your page here</title>
<meta name="description" content="Your page description here">
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword">
</head>
<body background="URL of image here" text="#color" link="#color" vlink="#color">
All the stuff you want on your page goes here.
</body>
</html>



All the tags for images, text, links etc. go between the BODY tags. I have three pages of basic codes.
To view all the codes on a page click Codes, Codes 2 or Codes 3.
To make special characters such as & ampersand or © copyright. see Character Codes.
Your Email Signature uses the same HTML codes.
For a specfic code click the one you want below.
