HTML

Spice up your HTML Knowledge.

By now you must have known that its by the use of html (Hypertext Markup Language) that a web page is created. Now thinking of creating a web page and most likely than not something like this tags below will likely cross your mind:

<HTML> - Tag begins a HTML document.

<HEAD> -Main information about the page like the TITLE, META tags for Search Engine indexing and optimization, STYLE tags, determine the page layout, and JavaScript coding for special effects.

<TITLE> - The TITLE of your page. This will be visible in the title bar of the viewers’ browser.

</TITLE> - Closes HTML <TITLE> tag.

</HEAD> - Closes HTML <HEAD> tag.

<BODY> - our content goes here. It is where you write your document and place your HTML codes.

</BODY> - Closes the HTML <BODY> tag.

</HTML> - Closes the <HTML> tag.

Now if you are like most of us, then this is enough to cause you to put off your plans of build your own web site, otherwise how are you supposed to decipher all this codes and organize them together in order to create what they do call a web page?

Tutorial.

I always had plans of building my own web page because I knew and believed that was where the big boys were headed in our modern economy but I must admit it took me a long…long time to take that first step of faith.

I tried a hand in a learning one of the programming language and taking some of the html online tutorials but things weren’t that fun.

Eventually in that process things started to become much easier with the discovery of the what you see is what you get editors.(WYSIWYG)

With my discovery, initially I had a problem of trying to choose the best of the WYSIWYG software because there is a bunch of them, with time I narrowed my search and decided to use SBI. As is a common thing you don’t have to be a mechanic to own a car, but common sense dictates that if you drive a car then the sooner you know how to change the tire the better off you are.

Otherwise soon or later you will be hit with the unthinkable, flat tire in the middle of the night with no one to call, believe me you won’t like those hours you will spend inside your car feeling helpless and stupid just but because you just don’t know how to change a flat tire.

Examples.

If you own an WHYIWYG editor you don’t have to know all the fancy html codes and tricks but common sense and in the normal process of building your web site then you will discover that you probably will need a few ways to spice up your web page and make it more professional

Now I do understand there are those days, days that you feel like just sitting down by the beach and enjoy the warm sun

and somehow wish through sheer miracles things to fall in place andyour work be done as you enjoy along. If this is that day

then on this page you will find some simple html codes that you can copy and paste into your page.

HTML Books.

On the other hand valuable books have been written, books whose sole purpose is to teach basic and advanced techniques on html. Here are some of the books that you can’t do without.
