Basic HTML

This is to show you how to do basic HTML. What is HTML you ask? It stands for Hyper Text Markup Language What does it to? Its what makes things on the web bold or puts an image up. Its what is behind the scenes of all websites.

Now you need to know what a URL is. Uniform Resource Locater which is what you use to get from place to place on the web. http://limondesigns.net/ is a URL.

Hex colors are 6 letter/number codes that tell the browser what color to use.

Line Break

Having trouble making a line jump down to where you want it? Juse used <br> right after the line you want a break in.

Hypertext

First think you’re going to learn is how to make text bold, italicized , or underlined,
<b>bold</b> will make things bold .
<i>italicized </i> will make things italicized
<u>underline</u> will make things underline
Just replace the words bold, italicized, and underline with your own text.

Images

One thing you’ll need for this part is a host. http://photobucket.com/ works well. Upload the image you want to use in to your account and take the URL link or direct link.
copy and past it in to <img src=”URL HERE”> where it says URL here. Save what your doing and view it. You’ll have an image.

Links

So ever wonder how it works when you click a link and it takes you to another page? This will show you how.
Just use <a href=”URL HERE” target=”self”>NAME</a> just replace the URL HERE with the URL of the page you want to go to.

You can also change target=”self” to target=”_blank” which will open up a new tab or page without leaving the website you’re already in.

Image Links

This is just combining linking and images. All you need to do is put the image inside the link like so
<a href=”URL HERE” target=”_blank”><img src=”IMAGE URL HERE” border=”0″></a>
the border=”0″ is so there is no border around the link. But you can remove it. Don’t forget you can change the target.
