HTML Tutorial: Start

 right-pointing arrow for navigating to next page
Welcome!

You might want to bookmark this page, as it's the real start of the HTML tutorial. This looks like a website, doesn't it? Great websites happen when geeks and artists collaborate. I'm no artist (as you can tell) so I settle for useful websites.

You're only a step away from writing and viewing your first HTML page. That step is to organize your tools. First, an overview.

The Overall Process

You'll start with the page most like the one you want to create. Copy it. Then:
  1. Modify the HTML in your text editor.
  2. View the page in your browser.
  3. Repeat steps one and two, until you're satisfied with the page.
  4. Begin another page and go back to step one.
  5. When your whole site works, upload it to your web host.

Experiment

It's not my words and examples that will teach you HTML. It's your trying the experiments that will teach you HTML.

Challenge

And it's giving the challenges an honest try that will really build your skills.

Now, let's get your tools in order.
