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.

PHP (Hypertext Processor, originally Personal Home Page) is a computer scripting language that is mainly used for server-side scripting on dynamic and interactive web pages. This web development language is a free service that can be directly embedded into HTML code.

Unlike Javascript, a server will process a PHP code and send the output of this code to a visitor’s browser. By not revealing the code itself, a server will not allow the chance for your script to be stolen, which is a major benefit with PHP.

Being that it is a cross-platform language, PHP can run on multiple operating systems and web servers. PHP has grown in popularity due to its looseness and ease to learn. According to wisegeek.com, arrays and variables in PHP are able to hold any type of object, variables need not be declared, and the syntax is remarkably simple.

In short, here are the main reasons to use PHP:

> It runs on all the major operating systems on nearly all servers

> It is free

> It can be embedded directly into HTML code

> Relatively easy to learn

> It does not reveal the actual code when sending to a visitor’s browser

> It is an open source product (allows for a dedicated production team and user community)

> It allows you to separate HTML code from scripted elements

To get a start on PHP basics, take this free online tutorial.

Heading tags are html tags of six various sizes that allow you to organize content on your website, with the H1 tag being the largest and most important. Heading tags are important, because they let search engine bots know that the content you are providing is relevant to your selected keyword(s).

Unlike the traditional form of simply augmenting a font, you can implement heading tags that will be recognized by browsers that do not recognize style sheets. In addition, when you would like to make changes to your site that may institute international changes, it will be much easier to change the heading tags rather than defining a new CSS class.

In their simplest forms, heading tags basically serve as a summation of the most important topics on a particular page. Therefore, it is common that headings will be evaluated as central keywords. By using your keyword in a H1 tag, you are telling search engine bots that this is the summation my website’s most important content. Therefore, you are improving the opportunity for your site to be ranked higher with your keyword(s) in search results.

One thing you should be aware of is that heading tags are used to convey structural information about a specific page and should not be applied to manipulate font size or any other text attributes. Be sure to choose the correct content to use as your heading tags and ensure that they are properly implemented!
