 Some BASIC HTML Review!!!

In Windows 95/98 click on Start->Programs->Accessories->Notepad
Anything between the less then and greater then symbols, including the symbols themselves is called an html tag. With the Notepad open immediately copy the below 'basic html file format.'   Click on File->Save as and name it 'webpage.html'

This is not an extensive lesson in how to write html.  It is to encourage you to sit down at your computer and discover it for yourselves.  Take time to discuss this with others and search on the Internet for sites that teach html.  If you begin to read this and become frustrated from what I wrote, that’s great, because I want to encourage you to write a better Html Review then me!  Remember there's an open tag and a close tag. Warning, this article may contain errors, see if you can find them!

Your basic html file format.  Given for experimentation purposes only.
<html>
<head>
<title>
</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Example here.  Notice the structure of the basic html file.
<html>
<head>
<title>WPCUG Welcome to the Windsor PC Users Group
</title>
</head>
<body>
…
You put text and graphics here.  
…
</body>
</html>

The stuff that follows are tags that you use to put into the body of your html program that allows you to see the text and graphics.  (i.e. <body> In here </body>)

Creating links.

Local link means that the link you click on is located in your directory where the webpage is stored.
<a href = "nameoffile.html"> Click here for another of my pages</a>

Non-local link.
<a href = "http://www.yahoo.com/"> Click here to send you to the Yahoo website</a>
 

Mailto links:
<a href =" mailto:youremail@yourISP.com"> Click here to send mail to me</a>

Look of Text.  Use these to manipulate your text on the webpage.
<b></b>  makes text between these two tags bold.
<i></i> italicizes text
<big></big> makes text big
<small></small>  makes text small
<sub></sub>  makes subscript
<sup></sup> makes superscript
<br/>  break in the page  (new line)
<center></center>
 

<bgcolor ="  ">  background color, uses hexadecimal code.

Images
<img src = "examplebird1.gif"/>
<img src = "examplebird1.gif" alt = [picture of a condor]/>

I know that this is not very much, but it’s a start. 
The end.
