HTML

HTML stands for: Hyper Text Mark-Up Language and is used for making websites.
Please note that this is just basic HTML. I will not teach you how to code an image for a layout etc. etc.

The first thing you ever put in when you are making a website through HTML is the HTML tag:

<html></html>

The next thing is the Head tag:

<head></head>

After that comes the title (this is the title that appears next to the “ – Microsoft Internet Explorer”):

<title></title>

When you want to start adding content to your site put in the Body tag:

<body></body>

To start a paragraph, use the Paragraph tag:



Pressed return but a new line still not coming? Use this:

YOUR TEXT HERE MORE TEXT HERE

The tag does basically the same as the tag apart from the line space

Want a different background colour? When you’re typing in the <body> tag put:

<body bgcolor=”COLOUR/#HEX CODE HERE”> etc. etc.

Need to add a URL link?

<a href=”URL GOES HERE”>TEXT GOES HERE</a>

Need to add an E-Mail link?

<a href=mailto

ERSONS EMAIL HERE>TEXT GOES HERE</a>

Need to add a link to one of your pages?

<a href=”FOLDER/PAGE NAME HERE“> TEXT GOES HERE</a>

Want a different font?

YOUR TEXT HERE

Want a different font colour?

YOUR TEXT HERE

Want a different font size?

YOUR TEXT HERE

Want to add an image?

<img scr=”LOCATION OF IMAGE HERE”>

Remember: You can only use .GIF or .JPEG/.JPG images for the web.

Want an image link?

<a href=”URL GOES HERE”><img scr=”LOCATION OF IMAGE HERE”></a>

Want to align your text?



Want to add a table?

<table>
<tr><td>SOMETHING RELATED TO TEXT ABOVE</td><td>SOMETHING RELATED TO TEXT TO LEFT</td></tr>
<tr><td>SOMETHING RELATED TO TEXT ABOVE</td><td>SOMETHING RELATED TO TEXT TO LEFT</td></tr>
<tr><td>SOMETHING RELATED TO TEXT ABOVE</td><td>SOMETHING RELATED TO TEXT TO LEFT</td></tr>
</table>

Want frames instead of single pages?

<frameset rows="92,*">
<frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src="PAGE NAME HERE.htm">
<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="PAGE NAME HERE.htm">
<frame name="main" src="PAGE NAME HERE.htm">
</frameset>

You will need to save what you want in three different files for these. Please note that this is a Banner on top, Navigation on left frame set. This goes between the back-end of the head tag and the start of the body tag

Don’t want the borders?

<frameset rows="92,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src="PAGE NAME HERE.htm">
<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="PAGE NAME HEREhtm">
<frame name="main" src="PAGE NAME HERE.htm" scrolling="auto">
</frameset>
</frameset>

I hope this is of some use to you.
Please Note: The past 3 tutorials I have written I have written. I wrote them in my spare time and I've just copied and pasted them from my computer.
