HTML, what is it?

Answer 1

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is the simple (or not) code for building wesites.
If you want to construct a website from scratch you may need to buy a book or search for a guide on the web, but there are websites like www.freewebs.com where they can give you a template of your choice and you build, but it is very limited.
You DO need it unless you want a white webpage with size 12 Times New Roman font and thats it...
HTML is complicated to do from scratch, so if you click (at the top of this page) view> source then you will see what goes into making just this.. a hell of a lot of work.
If you have microsoft word then you can make you webpage design on there, save is as a HTML and then you lose me there, I have never bought a website before, so I don't know how to do all that... but other then that...
You can have an intranet webpage, which means you can access it from just your PC, but thats kinda pointless.
The best program is Microsoft Front Page which is specifically designed to design webpages.

Simples answers:
Code for webpages. Yes. Ask another question to find out...

Answer 2

HyperText Markup Language. Yep - if you want to create a webpage - even of the basic type - you need it, and if you want to construct the code from notepad or similar text editor you will have to learn the raw HTML, which you can get from any web site if you enter "HTML tutorial". If you are not into learning raw code to use it as a formatter for layout then just use something like MS frontpage (which I think is pants!!) or dreamWeaver (better but cant beat the raw code!!). You could put "free html editor' into a search engine and download something if you dont have either of the above two programs. Good luck.

Hyper Text Markup Language is the basic building block for websites and subsequently the internet. No HTML=NO web! ;-)

Answer 6

Hyper Text Markup Language is the code used for building lots of Websites. It sets out how the text is formatted.

I find it a ***** that I just needed to learn and be done with, so its OK to hate it, and easy to understand. Message me if you need something translated, or its simple to work out for yourself. Yahoo has some good stuff in Help.

You cna also use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) stuff which does the thinking for you.
