HTML basics

First of all, we have to know what is a html
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language
It is a labguage which describes a web page. You can set the parameters for documents, images position, text height, background color, text color.

HTML is simply textual code which is made of explanations for the browser, how to open and show that page. These explanations can be set with the tags that must be written inside the brackets <code>. Here is the example:


This is the <b> bold </b> parameter for the text in web page.

It will look like this :
This is the bold parameter for the text in web page.


These textual codes are easy to write or edit in any text editor, even in your windows notepad. But there are some editors that can help you, notepad++ is a very helpful one, because it visually makes it easier to you to see where is the beginning and the end of the code you are editing.

If you find this complicated, you can use some of editors which can make you easier to you to place the design in a way you want without knowing html codes. Some tools you need are Dreamweaver and Frontpage. These editors are so-called WYSIWYG, which means What You See Is What You Get

Let me say that although you don’t need to know any html to work in these WYSIWYG tools, it is still of great importance to know html language, so you can edit the code and place the design in more accurate way.
Every html page you make, must have .html or .htm extension. This way browsers recognize your pages, and show them in a way you want.

After you create your web page, you need a web hosting, your domain and a FTP program.

Web hosting is a physical place (hard drive) which is connected with the internet all the time using some server configuration.

Domain name is also important. It points someone who write it in a browser to your web page. Once you buy it, you have to set nameservers on it, which connects domain name with your hosting.

FTP program lets you easily move your web pages you create from your computer to your hosting.
