The Basics

First, in order to get started there are a few simple rules to remember.

HTML commands are placed inside of less-than and greater-than signs, < and >
Most commands you start must be closed at some point. That is done with a forward slash. Example: <I> which makes text italic, would be finished with a </I>. That ends the effect of the first <I>.
The commands are done in a first in last out order. For example <CENTER><H1> must be closed in this order:</H1></CENTER>. Doing it like </CENTER></H1> will not work.

At the beginning of your page you must put <HTML>. This lets the browser know that it is an HTML document. Also, go ahead and put the </HTML> in on the line below it. This is the end of the document. Just put everything else from the tutorial in between those points.

The next command you need is the <HEAD> command. The <HEAD> command contains information about the document. This information is mainly for the browser viewing the page as well as search engines and more. Within the <HEAD> command go ahead and put <TITLE>. This is to let the browser know the title of your page. Go ahead and name this "MY First Page". Then close off your commands. Now your HTML should look like this:

    

    <HTML>

    <HEAD><TITLE>My First Page</TITLE></HEAD>

    </HTML>

While there are other things other then just <TITLE> that can go in-between the <HEAD> command, that is all we are going to touch on in this tutorial. <TITLE> is also the only one that must appear between the <HEAD>s.

Now insert the <BODY> and </BODY> commands. Between these commands is where the bulk of your code will go. The finished product should look like this:


    <HTML>

    <HEAD><TITLE>My First Page</TITLE></HEAD>

    

    <BODY>

    </BODY>

    </HTML>
