Over the next week, all my posts will be revolved around setting up a basic website. Below are some beginner HTML codes that will allow the first time HTML creator to develop a basic website with some added features and enhancements. These codes were mainly generated from the free online HTML tutorial at W3 schools. These codes can be implemented into a program, such as Notepad and saved as a text file. You can then right click and open it with your Internet browser.
How to…
Begin a website
The foundation for most web pages is as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>Titles your page</title>
</head>
<body>
This is where you would usually begin typing the content for your page.
</body>
</html>
Start writing content for your page
<body>
Bold text
<b>
Insert a link
<a href=“http://www.YourWebsite.com”>Your Company</a>
Title your page
<title>
Insert a line break
<br>
Italicize text
<i>
Insert a horizontal rule
<hr width=”25%” color=”#6699FF” size=”6″>
Insert alternative text in place of a graphic
<image alt=“Your Keywords”>
Align objects on your page
<align=center>
Be sure to remember that you will always need to close any tag that you implement with </>. For example, if I wanted to bold just my name (Max Nunn) on my website, I would implement the following code: <b>Max Nunn</b>. Tomorrow, I will move into more advanced coding.
