Web page....HTML....

LEARNINGS OF THE WEEK
BY: Sharra Mae S. Tagaro IV- Rizal

This week, our teacher discussed to us how to make a web page using HTML. We started making our very own web page this week. I am so excited and interested in making such because I can really use a lot of imagination and creativity..=)
I learned that:

->Web page is a resource of information that is suitable for the World Wide Web and can be accessed through a web browser . This information is usually in HTML or XHTML format, and may provide navigation to other web pages via hypertext links.
->HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.

->An HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags. The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page. An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension.An HTML file can be created using a simple text editor just like notepad.
->When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension.
->You can easily edit files using a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor like Frontpage, Claris Home Page or Adobe PageMill instead of writing your markup tags in a plain text file.
->But if you want to be skillful Web developer, we strongly recommend that you use a plain text editor to learn your primer HTML.

HTML Elements
*HTML documents are text files made up of HTML elements.
*HTML elements are defined using HTML tags.
HTML Tags
*HTML tags are used to mark-up HTML elements. HTML tags are surrounded by the two characters <>.
*The surrounding characters are called angle brackets.
*The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag. The text between the start and end tags is the element content.
*HTML tags are not case sensitive: means the same as .
*If you want to prepare yourself for the next generations of HTML, you should start using lowercase tags.
*The World Wide Web Consortium(W3C) recommends lowercase tags in their HTML 4 recommendation, and XHTML (the next generation HTML) demands lowercase tags.

Tag Attributes

*Tag attributes can provide additional information about the HTML elements in your page.

There are a lot of variety of tags that you can use in making your web page nice and creative.That's all!
