We'll start by learning some of the basic principles of HTML. If you type "Hello World" into your text editor, save, then hit reload in your browser; you will see Guess what you just made your first web page!
Now lets try this <Hello World> (save and reload) look on the page...nothing. Ahh you've learned a simple principle of HTML: any thing in < and > is hidden by the browser. Why hide them? Try this... "<b>Hello World" what do you see?
Cool huh? Things with in < and > are used to ajust the properties of the page.
Lets say you want "Hello" in bold and "World" in regular. Type "<b>Hello</b> World" (S&R) You see
If you add a slash / to a HTML code it stops the code (</b> stops <b>) Got it?
