BASIC HTML GUIDE

This is a very simple guide to the most basic HTML needs for a page. Simply scan the page until you see something under "results" that is similar to what you want on your page. Then copy what is under "code" and paste it into your document, making the right changes so it works correctly (points to the right URLs or shows the correct text, etc).

Your First HTML Page

To make your beginning HTML page, all you need to do is write it with a text editor (like WordPad in Windows...), select "Save As..." and save it as index.html or whatever you wish to name it- as long as you call it something with the .html or .htm extension. Your next step would be to upload it to your website account (you can get one for free from www.geocities.com or www.tripod.com) and then view it from your website's address.

The following is the outline of the very least you can include in a document of HTML.

Code:
