HTML step by step

What does HTML do?
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. With HTML you define where you want a photo and where you want text. The codes are all short for English terms.

What does HTML look like?
The HTML codes are called tags. You can recognise them 'cos they're always featured with the "smaller than" and "greater than" signs. Surf to any website of your choice, click the right mouse button and go to "View Source". Anything that's written <like this> is HTML.

HTM or HTML?
The extension .htm was used in the Windows 3.x time. Those Windows versions could read this type. Now, however, you can assume your visitors have newer Windows versions and you can use the extension .html.

How do you make sure you can find your way in a website?
Websites can become really big. If your website will get a lot of content, make a directory on your computer especially for the files of your website. Make a subdirectory especially for images. You will notice that this makes life a lot easier when having to update things.

What do you use to program HTML?
There are several programs that give you the chance to create an HTML document in a wordprocessor environment. You type your text, place your photo and voila you can save it as .html and publish it on the Internet. No difficult codes, no worries, but you do have a website! Unfortunately this won't teach you HTML. That's why we will work in Windows Notepad.
