html class

Yesterday in class, we talked about the basics of html and how to make a website. After reviewing a few slides with some basic html codes, Allison came up to be the lucky "volunteer" to make a practice webpage. Here's a little review of what we covered.

First, you need to put in the html and header tags. The most important thing to remember is to always close any tag you put in. Alex suggested (and this is what I usually do too whenever I use html) to put in the second part of the tag immediately so you won't forget. After the header, we put the title tag in to name the page.

After completing the header section of the page, we made the body by placing the body tag. We added a header (size 3) and then added some text to the body.

Finally, we added a few links. We added a link to another webpage and then a link to email. To make the email link you simply ad "mailto:" before the email address and place this where the web address typically goes in the html code.

In addition to these codes that we practiced in class, there are many other tags that are very easy to learn. To make text bold, italicized or underlined, you simply add < b >, < i > or < u > respectively (without the spaces which are added so they will show up here) and then end the tag by using the same tag with a backlash before the letter.

After doing a quick google search, I found a few sites that listed pretty much any html code that you might want to know. Here they are:

And here is the link to the wikipedia article on HTML which provides a lot of informaton:

Additionally, here is a link to the slides that Alex provided for us on html.


Hopefully this was a good recap of HTML for everyone, some stiuqxela anyone?
