Basic HTML Tutorial

This is a basic html tutorial by Sevilay Baydir. I am going to show you how to use tags and how to construct a basic web page.  I am going to keep it very simple. Once you are finished with the tutorial you’ll have an idea  if this is something you’d like to learn more about.

Step One- Open you web browser.





Step Two- Open your Notepad.




Step Three-We are going to create basic tags. So type <html> and </html> in your notepad shown below.  Everything in html goes inside of these two tags. They tell the document it’s an html document.


The body of an html document is divided into two sections. One is head and the other is body.
Step Four- Type <head>, </head>, <body> and </body> shown below.
As you notice, each tag ends with a “/”.




Let’s title our document
Step Five- Type <title> Hello World!!!</title>.



Step Six- Save your document. Go to file then click on save as. You need to save as an html document. See below two pictures.





Your document title should read index.html. And it’s saved on your desktop. It should look like this picture.

Your notepad should look like below picture.


Click on the document saved on your desktop. Drag and drop it on your internet explorer. Here it is… Hello World!!! Your title shows. See below picture.


Let’s go back to notepad and type a paragraph.

Step Seven- Type <p> Hello World! I am learning basic html. </p>.


Now, save the document. Just, click save on your notepad.
Go to your internet explorer and click on refresh button. Or you can go view then refresh.
You’ll see your paragraph. See below.



Want to try more…Lets’ write a bold sentence.
Step Eight- Go to your notepad and type <p> <strong>This is a bold sentence</strong></p>.
Then save.  See below.


Now, go to your internet explorer and click the refresh button.
Here is your bold sentence.


Hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Try your own with new sentences. Have fun with it. See you next tutorial.

Did you know?

The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in the village of Patara. At the time the area was Greek and is now on the southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesus' words to "sell what you own and give the money to the poor," Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships. Under the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who ruthlessly persecuted Christians, Bishop Nicholas suffered for his faith, was exiled and imprisoned. The prisons were so full of bishops, priests, and deacons, there was no room for the real criminals—murderers, thieves and robbers. After his release, Nicholas attended the Council of Nicaea in AD 325. He died December 6, AD 343 in Myra and was buried in his cathedral church, where a unique relic, called manna, formed in his grave. This liquid substance, said to have healing powers, fostered the growth of devotion to Nicholas. The anniversary of his death became a day of celebration, St. Nicholas Day, December 6th (December 19 on the Julian Calendar). Enjoy the pictures of his church:
