Getting started with HTML
What You Need to Do to Get Going and Make Your First HTML Page
If you have always wanted to make your own Web page, but you were under the impression that it would be very difficult, then there should really be no problem. To create your own Web page, all you need to have is a thorough understanding of HTML. And HTML is not all that difficult to learn.
What is HTML ?
HTML is actually shorthand for Hypertext Markup Language. It is the language of Web pages that tells a browser how to display certain elements, such as text and images through the use of codes and symbols.
HTML is the standard when it comes to creating Web pages. The World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C recommends it. Being such, most browsers implement HTML to help display Web pages more or less uniformly .
HTML is the brainchild of Tim BernersLee. In 1990, BernersLee needed something that would help scientists coming from different colleges and universities access documents and research from other scientists. That problem led to BernersLee inventing the World Wide Web, the hypertext transfer protocol or HTTP, and HTML.
Why learn HTML ?
These days, the proliferation of content management systems such as WordPress as well as HTML editors can help you create a Web page without knowing HTML. But even with these tools, knowing how HTML works plus knowing even just the basic tags can go a long way.
For example, it would make your life easier if you knew how to work with HTML to correct design flaws. Like if your WordPress installation is using a CSS rule that displays images wrong, you can view the source and correct how your images are being displayed if you know HTML.
Also, HTML is very simple and easy to learn. It literally makes no sense why you should not take time to learn it!
