HTML
HTML or Hypertext Markup Language is a computer language devised
to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by
anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to
learn, with the basics being accessible to most people in one
sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows you to create.
HTML consists of a series of short codes typed into a text-file
by the site author — these are the tags. The text is then saved as
a html file, and viewed through a browser, like Internet
Explorer, Firefox or Safari. Writing your own
HTML entails using tags correctly to create your vision. You can
use anything from a rudimentary text-editor to a powerful graphical
editor to create HTML pages.
The tags are what separate normal text from HTML source code.
You might know them as the words between the
<angle-brackets>. They allow all the cool stuff like images
and tables and stuff, just by telling your browser what to render
on the page. Different tags will perform different functions. The
tags themselves don’t appear when you view your page through a
browser, but their effects do. The simplest tags do nothing more
than apply formatting to some text, like this:
<b>These words will be
bold</b>, and these will not.
The great thing about HTML, is you can code your entire website
offline, storing it all on your own computer, and then just
transfer all the HTML code files onto the web. Then whenever you
have new content, you just add that to the existing online version
of your site. It’s really quite simple!

Nah, you know enough now. Use stealth and bring a pen! Good
