Understanding HTML Codes-
A web page is created using a language called, Hypertext Markup Language, better known as HTML Code. You can write your own coding within a plain text editor, such as Note Pad, or use an HTML editor, which will write the code for you. HTML codes, also referred to as HTML tags, are enclosed by the lesser than (<) and greater than (>) brackets and may be written in capital or lower case letters. When you open a command you start with the < symbol followed by the letter or letters of the HTML code. What you open you must close by adding a slash to the tag. Anything you type in your HTML document must be between the two tags for the tag to take effect. Common HTML Codes: Here are some basic HTML codes that even the beginner website designer can use. Learn how to use these basic HTML codes to make a signature link, creating links or banners to your website, or adding interesting content to your blog. When using any of the HTML codes use the first tag right before you want that design change and close with the second tag. The closing tag has the same letter in brackets as the opening tag but has a slash ( / ) before the letter. *Line Break-<br> In HTML this tag works the same way hitting "enter" on your keyboard works. This tag comes before a line break and does not have a closing tag at the end. *Paragraph- Use the <p> to start a paragraph and end with </p>. *Bold- Use the <b> Michael Arnold Art </b> when you want something to be in bold print. *Italic- Use this tag:: <i>Website Creations </i> to make words be italic versus normal effect *Underline- Use the <u> Michael Arnold Art </u> tag to underline text: *Center- Use this code around wording that want to be centered horizontally on the page *Add Link: You can use this code to create a link: <a href="http://michaelarnoldart.com/" target="_blank" >Michael Arnold Art </a> The target=_blank makes the link open in a new window. This is useful in posting blog entries and you can also use this code to have a link to your homepage in your emails. The result looks like this: Michael Arnold Art *Add Image: Use this code for an image: <A HREF="http://www.michaelarnoldart.com"><IMG SRC="http://www.michaelarnoldart.com/image/original signed paintings.jpg" border=0 width=200 height=50 ></a> You must save the image on your site for  the
code to work. In this case the image is saved on my site in a file
named "image". The next line is the name of the image. This line
will end in jpg, gif or another picture format. The banner has the link already included (you can see the first line
is the code for the link) The last measurements tell you the size of the
picture or banner. |
