Anybody want to learn HTML?

Alright;so I am currently Renewing my certificate in HTML/web design.

I paid for this class for 4 years now,and I would like to teach you all tidbits of information on how to do simple HTML

HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is pretty much for web designing and you can pretty much customize anything with HTML.

So,if your interested,just post here.Ill send out lessons to everybody on the list (Not the same lessons i pay for,though

Coming soon:

CSS
Javascript

Could you possibly post the lessons in this thread? I would love to know more about them.

Of course

I wasn't sure,because I didnt know if youd appreciate that;)

I will post a lesson a day in this thread then

It's perfectly ok with me. Just remember that HTML doesn't show up in posts or PMs. You will probably have to use the code tag or display it in images.

Thanks again!

HTML-Lesson One-The Basics

In this lesson,I am going to teach you what programs/applications you will need to write HTML,the basic tags and I will also teach you about web hosting.

You only need a few things to begin writing HTML.All you need is:

• a computer or Web appliance with Internet access
  
• a text editor, such as Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac0S X) SimpleText (older Macs)
  
• a Web browser
  

Now if anybody here has a different system then the ones listed above ^^ feel free to PM me for assistance.

Now,there are only a few tags you will need to start off (This should be pretty easy for begginers to understand)

Code:

I am going to tell you how to use these tags in lesson two.These won't be too important today.

You are going to need a Web to create your webpage on. (Find a free site to make webpages on) Now,take a look at this code:

Code:

This text is [i]italic[/i] and [b]bold[b].

In HTML,codes always begin with () and the ending code is always ()

As you can see,the words inside these arrows(If thats what you want to call them,for now anyways) is P,for paragraph, i,for italic and b,for bold.

If you write it out,here is what it looks like:

This text is italic and bold.

HOMEWORK:

Test what you have made,and save it on notepad.

Write your HTML in Notepad.
Save your HTML to a file
This is the tricky part. Notepad normally saves files as .txt. But since you're
writing HTML, you need to save the file as .htm.

1. Click on "File" and then "Save As"
   
2. Navigate to the folder you want to save in
   
3. Change the "Save As Type" drop-down menu to "All Files (*.*)"
   
4. Name your file, be sure to include the .htm extension e.g.
   

And then put it onto your Site and try it.
Then, post a picture of how you did.

If you have any questions,pm me with the Subject:HTML-Lesson One-The Basics and I will answer them ASAP!

I suggest you save these lessons into WORDPAD (found in accessories I believe) and use them for further reference

Whew,lots of typing! hehe.[/b][/b]

Sorry for not editing my post (It messes up the HTML)

But if you can't see the <> around the beggining of the sentence This text is Italic and Bold,then you need to put it like this:

Code:

<p> This text is <i>Italic</i> and <b>bold</b> </p>

I removed the link to the free webpage hosting service. You cannot post links like that since it would be advertising. It messed up your first HTML codes...

Thanks for the lesson :-)

All you should have to do is click EDIT and re-put in the < tags >

If that doesn't work you can re-post this in the Tutorials & Guides forum and I'll get rid of this thread. Maybe each lesson as a different thread if you want.

I would've but I couldn't remember what you had typed. Also, instead of them PMing you the link to their site (not allowed) they can simply post a picture of how they did.

Well,then everything else has to be re-edited.

And it would just be a link to their test page.

Better post a tut. on doing screenshots then.

ty for them but why did you stop sending lessons?

yeah im gonna need some time to process all that [=
