Part two of five: Basic Page commands
When viewing a website, the coding always begins with:
And ends with:
First, we'll start off with the HTML tag. This tag tells the visiting computer that the following inside of the website will be coded in HyperText Markup Language (HTML). It ALWAYS goes at the top of a webpage.
Next, the HEAD tag. The head tag is where the code for the title of a webpage will go. It is also used for placing CSS into the webpage. It will ALWAYS follow the HTML tag. Always. If there isn't going to be a title for the page or any CSS into it, you don't have to write it in but if you want to include Meta Tags (the codes that help sites like google find you) this is where they go.
Thirdly, the TITLE tag. This will always go in the Head tag. Never put it anywhere else because other browsers may not be able to find it. There are many funky effects you can add to the Title but I will be staying with the standard for this tutorial.
Finally, the most important part, the BODY tag This tag is extremely important. This is where all of your content goes. It's very important that you have one. Do not repeat this tag. Only one opening body command is nessacary per each page.
The second white textbox above is the coding to STOP the HTML and BODY tags. You will put this at the very BOTTOM of your website when you have finished editing.
