Getting Prepared
The purpose of this HTML tutorial is to explain the most commonly used tags and how to use them with detailed instructions on every page. It is designed to provide the beginner with the information needed to create web pages and then link them together. If you are experienced in HTML then this guide is not for you.
This tutorial, like anything else that is new may be confusing at the very start. Proceed slowly and play around with each step to get a better understanding. As you advance through the tutorial previous sections will become clearer. It would also be beneficial to back up to previous sections to gain the fullest as you advance to the next step.
Before we actually start the HTML tutorial there are some things I suggest you get if you do not already have them.
You would not be here if building a properly functioning and properly displayed website wasn't important to you. If you do not already have the FireFox browser I strongly suggest you install it. This browser is used by web designers everywhere to insure that the websites they build display and function properly. Firefox Browser.
After you install FireFox there are a couple of add-ons that you can install. The web developers toolbar and HTML Tidy. Both add-on's are extremely beneficial to helping insure your site is coded properly.
Download and install these two add-ons;
Get HTML Tidy
Get the web developers toolbar
Text Editor
You will need to have a text editor to gain the fullest from these tutorials. If you don't have one right now or if you prefer to take your time finding one that's ok. I have placed a simple text editor on several pages throughout the tutorials.
You can use a simple text editor like windows notepad or you can have a super mega byte web builder like DreamWeaver that costs several hundred dollars. When it comes to building a website the best way to insure you have a properly working page is to learn the HTML code used on your pages.
