Beginning HTML

Getting Started

Part of the beauty of HTML is its simplicity. To code in HTML, no special development environment is needed (although, there are some available). All you need to begin coding in HTML is a text editor, such as notepad. To view your web pages as you develop them all you'll need is a suitable browser - that thing you're using to view this very page.

Personally, I like to separate my web pages from the rest of my work, so I created a folder called "C:\My Webs" to deal with my web pages. I recommend you create a similar folder. Underneath this folder, create a new folder for this article call it something similar to "article"

I like to use a special folder to store all of my images in for each website. This helps keep the pages separate from the images. I usually call this folder "images"

If you've done the same, then you should have (or have something similar to) the following folder structure:
C:\My Webs\article\ - for storing HTML pages.
C:\My Webs\article\images\ - for storing our images.

    Hi all,


    Sorry I've been away for so long. But I may be back soon. Does anybody really want a sequel? If so what do you want in it. Anything in particular? Post here or mail me and I'll include it, if it's not too hideously complicated.


    I'm glad that some people have found this of some use.
