Basic HTML

First steps to learn html by practicing, once you know the basics you will understand it and be professional, don’t worry and don’t be overwhelmed, here I will show and help you to understand so let’s get started.

First thing to do is you open a new document using Notepad, I am using this program because I know everyone has this program you can use others such as Dreamweaver or HTML Pad or any html program you may have

I guess by now you did open a new document, first thing first save your documents and name it(index.html)

First tag will be

<html>

</html)

everything you write in between these tags will present your website from paragraph, images, tables, headers and so on, these two tags are the first thing to write as you see opening tag <html> and clsoing tag </html> the dash sign in front of the second html is a sign for closing tag.

So if you wrote anything after your closing html tag wont show in your website.

Now after writing these two tags e will be writing other important tags which they are

<head>  </head>

<body>  </body>

every page must have these tags you can call them the root of your web page

<html>

<head>  </head>

<body> </body>

</html)

as you can see you started with opening tag <html> then the opening and closing tag for the head as well as for the body and in the end the closing tag for the html </html>
