So you are interested in learning HTML. If you are a beginner who needs some help or are looking for some simple tricks then this site is for you. I will try to explain all you need to know to set up a Web Site in the simplest terms possible.
I am a self taught computer nut who enjoys building Web Sites as a Hobby. I`m no expert by any means but hope this section of the Site will help anyone wanting to learn how to set up a simple Web Site.
What is HTML?
It is an acronym that stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the code that tells your browser how to view the page where to find the images on the page, color of text etc.. Your browser is the program you use to surf the net. ie Netscape or Internet Explorer. There are several different types of web pages ie: .htm , .html , .sgml , .stml , etc. I will only be dealing with HTM and HTML files.
This is a sample of the simplest HTML page.
Click here to view the page in with your Browser.
