Who cares when
and who invented HTML. The importing part is that Hyper Text
Markup Language is
widely used to create web sites. HTML tags are a combination of
text and symbols that tell your web browser how to display web site.
You can use HTML to create the most basic web site. There are several
programs that allow you the luxury of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You
Get) like FrontPage or Dreamweaver. It is a great idea to use web
development software as a time saver but it is to your advantage to be
able to manually edit source code.
An source code file can be created using Windows Notepad.
You can view your file using any Internet browser. The
HTML
body element allows space for the content of your web site or page.
I compare the basic elements of HTML to an essay: you have a title,
heading and body that when combined forms one document or in this case
website.
The way a web site displays in a browser
allows viewers to see what you have to offer. If your
HTML
background isn’t properly contrasting with the elements in the
foreground your web site theme will be lost. It is important to ensure
your text can be viewed with a somewhat healthy eye. If your
background and foreground colors are in close relation it may put a
strain on the
eyes. There are many HTML color code options, be sure to sample
them to ensure the right combination is chosen.
Frames is one of the many cool elements
that allow you to customize a web site. Using vertical and horizontal
frames within a webpage gives the appearance that there are several
websites residing on one page. There are many benefits of using frames
that you will enjoy using.
Some will argue the pros can cons of using HTML but
the reality is that it isn’t going anywhere and there are more pros than
there are cons.
