WYSIWYG
What is a WYSIWYG editor?
A WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet Editor is a
program that requires no programming
knowledge to build a webpage.
These programs are often simple and the
effects are very basic however they are
good for fast page creation.
What is HTML?
HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up
Language. It consists of several tags
which tell the web browser what to
display.
HTML is a simple language which can be
easily wrote in a text editor such as
notepad.
Your First HTML code

<html>
<head>
<title>My Own Home Page </title>
</head>
<body>

Page!</H1>
</body>
</html>

What you have just done.
You have just created your first webpage
– though simple the techniques can be
applied to much more complicated
designs.
The page consists of these tags.
THE <HTML> TAG
The tag <html> tells the browser that the
html code is beginning this tag goes at
the start of every webpage you make
and its sibling </html> goes at the end.
THE <HEAD> TAG
The <head> tag is used to hold
information about the site. The
information between <head> and
</head> will store info such as
keywords for search engines and the
title bar message.
THE <BODY> TAG
This tag is where all the important
content is held such as the text on your
page ect. This tag is important to
remember because without it the
webpage will not display properly.
