    How to make a simple html site.

    Open your Notepad,

    Start with:
    Code:
    <html>
    And always end with:
    Code:
    </html>
    Now, we want a title for your site. So what you do is:
    Code:
    <title>Your title here</title>
    This will put the custom name of your site in the tabs and on the bottom window tab.

    What we shall do now is add some content to our site:

    (Note: Size for font is ranged from about 3-15. 7 being the norm. And there's a huge list of font faces you can use, ranging from the basic "Arial" to "Rage Italic" And such. Experiment.)

    Code:
    <body style="background-color=color">
    
    <font face="arial" font size="7" font color="red"
    Now, maybe we'll add some images.

    Code:
    <img src="URL">
    Or add a link:

    Code:
    <a href="URL">Text</a>
    Some tricks with text:

    Making the text slide across the screen:

    Code:
    <marquee>Text</marquee>
    Now, there are several things you can do with text:

    Code:
    <sub> <sup> <code> <del>
    Subscript, superscript, code font, strikethrough. Again, some experimentation is needed to do it.

    Save your file in your notepad as "All files," give it a name with ".html" at the end.
    Example: "My first site.html."

    Now open the file from where you saved it, voila! Your first custom site.

    Remember, ALWAYS end your commands with "</>", or it will not work. And you must use your quotation marks for certain commands. Such as "background-color=..." Anyways, post any questions about html coding and I'll be sure to answer. This tutorial isn't flawless, far from. But that's why it's in a Forum, you can ask me questions and I'm free to answer.

    It should still work in most browsers but has never been part of the HTML standard. Nowadays this should be done with JavaScript or Flash or better yet not at all.
