This is an unexpected Part Three to my HTML How-To series. I'll try to focus mostly on the "How To" part in this post so you can focus on YOUR home based web biz marketing success, not mine!© GT Bulmer
http://www.StarrBizz.comI hadn't originally planned a three-part personal introspection focusing on my
HTML How-To experiences, but events conspired this week to cause it to happen.
A construction crew tore up our telephone lines this week and it was several days before a temporary fix could be put in place. As a result, my Internet access was inhibited, and therefore my ability to effectively research and write articles or blog posts.
I never knew how much I depended on the Internet for my
home based web biz marketing and freelance writing activities!
Okay.
Back to HTML How-To: What Do I Know!We know from
Part One and
Part Two that
HTML is a markup language: HTML stands for "
Hyper Text Markup Language."
* A markup language uses a set of annotations to text that determines how the text is to be displayed - for example bold, italics, underline, headings, paragraphs, lists, etc.
* HTML is written in the form of
tags surrounded by angle brackets, like this: < >. In addition to describing the structure of text-based information in a document it is also used to describe the structure of interactive forms, images and various other page elements.
*
HTML tags usually come in pairs that include
opening and
closing tags. A start tag is placed before the text that is being formatted and an end tag after the text. For example, if you want to make the text bold, you would include a
"b" tag or a
"strong" tag before the text (with angle brackets around the "b" or the "strong" -
not quotation marks). To close the bold tag, at the end of the text, you would include a forward slash in the tag - for example,
/b or
/strong surrounded by the angle brackets < >.
* If you miss the opening tag, the formatting will not take effect.
* If you miss the closing tag, you risk formatting the entire remainder of your document with (in this example) the bold command.
Common HTML tags, and the ones I use most often, include:
(angle brackets must be used but are not shown here)
- b or strong - for bold text
- u - for underlines
- i - for italics
- body - for the document text body
- title - for titles
- h1 and h2 - for headers or headlines
- p - for paragraph
- br - for line break (note:
no closing tag used for line breaks)
- a href="http://www.starrbizz.com" (with angle brackets before the a and after the .com") followed by YourName.com or any keyword text you choose, and closed with the /a tag (with angle brackets before and after the /a). This is a hypertext link or anchor text link.
* Remember to always include the respective closing tag for each markup command you give (unless otherwise indicated).
The tags I have included here are simply the basic ones I am most familiar with. Other markup tags are used to display various text and page elements to give your text and web pages more detailed structure.
Many excellent
HTML guides are available on the Internet and can be found by doing a search for
HTML How To.
* One guide is the
Introduction to HTML available from w3schools.com.
To create and edit your HTML documents and web pages you will need to use an
HTML editor. Many free HTML editors can be found by doing an Internet search.
As technology advances, the need for
home based web biz marketing enthusiasts to know and use HTML is diminishing. Newer editing programs are making it simpler to do web page changes without HTML knowledge or ability.
However, I still consider it valuable to have a basic understanding of
HTML How-To. It can come in handy and it is one more resource that can empower your ability to advance your
web biz marketing success.
Works for me!Sincerely, GT Bulmer
