People ask me all the time for help with HTML, so I decided to create this blog where I can post my tips. First thing I want to cover is the basics of HTML. HTML for those who don't know stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML is really not a programming language, but a markup language, and what this means, it's a set of markup tags, used to describe a web page. These tags are usually called HTML tags.
HTML tags usually come in pairs, an start tag and a end tag or opening and ending tags.
Here's an example of a very basic HTML page, aka a web page.
<html>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to my page</h1>
<p>This is my paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Easy right? <html> is the start tag and </html> is the end tag. All this means, is that this page is an html page, hence a web page. Try it yourself, and save the file with .html extension and then view the file in a web browser.
