1. HTML is really easy to learn! That’s right the language that makes up the Internet is as easy as pie! To begin a command you put < and > around the desired command then type in the text and then finally you end it like this < and />. Pretty simple ehh. Well just for kicks here is an example: Say I wanted to make PETZ! bold all I would have to do is this <B> PETZ! <B/> just like that and then it would look like this PETZ!

Here are some examples of how to use codes:

How to Use the code

End Result

B

<B>Bold</B>

Bold

I

<I>Italic</I>

Italic

TT

<TT>Typewriter</TT>

Typewriter

2. Ok now I am going to teach you how to use 2 tags at once. So say you wanted to make Catz both bold and italic you would just but the bold beginning tag and the italic beginning tag together like this <B><I> then you would put Catz in the middle and finally end the code with the 2 end flags (note: it doesn’t matter if you put bold or italics ending tag first) </B></I> and you have an end result of….. Catz.

3. Say you wanted to have a break in your line like this
but you didn’t know how to make it. Well that would require a single tag. Single tags are tags that only have a beginning tag and do not require and ending tag. So say if you wanted to list catz and dogz right underneath each other you would do this: catz <br> dogz and it would look like this:
catz
dogz

Here are some examples of Single tags:

Effects

<P>

Creates a break in the line, only it is a smaller break then <BR>

<HR>

Creates a break in the text

<BR>

Puts a line across the page. Like a breaker

 

4. Ok so now you want to put all this together and make your own page. But first there are a few thing you are going to need to know: First every page has to start with this tag <HTML> you do this so that the computer recognizes it as a HTML document. Next you will put this flag <TITLE> then type in the title of your page for instance I luv Petz, this will show up in the top of your browsers window. Then add the ending tag </TITLE> so the full tag should look like this <TITLE>I luv Petz</TITLE> . The type in your coding I taught you above and finally when you are down add this </HTML> So that the computer knows the HTML code has ended.

Here is a sample page code:
<HTML>
<TITLE>I luv Petz</TITLE>
<B>MY Petz Site</B> <BR>
<I>Dogz and Catz are cool</I> <P>
This is my webpage
</HTML>
