Answer 1

Here is how to make an html link:

Yahoo! .

You will see a highlighted "Yahoo! that when you click on it, It will take you to yahoo.com . Whatever is in quotes is the site address, What ever is between the >< is the highlighted text.

To make a link in a new window:

Yahoo!

Same thing, address in quotess, but notice you add
target="_blank. There is a space before target. That is Basic HTML LINKS.

Now, if you want to paste an object on your website, that's different. First, you find a place on the website where the will give you an HTML CODE or WIDGET to put the object on your site. Then, copy the code. Finally, paste the code on the HTML page. MAKE SURE, that if you want the page to be HTML compatible, the address ends in .html (ex. http://www.wlit.com/pages/melissa.html ) or /index.html (ex. http://www.webspawner.com/users/mariofcalero/index.html )

To make Bold text, put when you want the bold text to start and where you want the bold text to end. Same thing with underline and italisize, but instead of B in the <> and , You put I for italisize and U for underline. Hope this helps. Want more help? Email me!

When you go to a texteditor, like 'BBEdit Lite', you can write an HTML page, which is a webpage. Webpages are made completely out of words which the computer reads and loads every time you click a link or go to a site.

To look at some people's HTML, you can go to any page and either click 'View' and then go to 'Source' if you have a PC, or right click and go to 'View Source' if you have a Mac.

To learn some HTML, you can either ask a friend who knows it (most reliable way), Google 'HTML tutorial for beginners' or something, or you can buy an up-to-date HTML book, which can cost over £20.

Do you want to know how to design pages with HTML or how it works?

HTML, or hypertext mark-up language, is a language constructed of special codes. To view some codes in action, right-click the page you're viewing and click "View Source." These are instructions in text that tell the browser how to represent the site visually. When the code says
, for example, the browser will automatically make a new line. If it sees text surrounded by , the text enclosed will appear boldfaced, and so forth. Everything you see on a page is in HTML, other than the pictures: HTML merely tells the pictures where to appear, what size they should be, and what happens if you click them.

HTML is not a programming language and so doesn't "work", rather it is a markup language which needs to be "understood".

HTML is simply a defined set of tags and rules governing those tags. For example, the
