CREATING SIMPLE WEB PAGES
ADDING LINKS TO YOUR WEB PAGES
After finishing yesterday’s lesson, you now have a couple of pages that have some headings, text, and lists in them. These page  are all well and good, but rather boring. The real fun starts when you learn how to create hypertext links and link your pages to the web.
IN THIS LESSON
 Today, you’ll learn just that. Specifically, you’ll learn about the following:
§  All about the HTML link tag <a> and its various parts
§  How to link to other pages on your local disk by using relative and absolute pathnames
§  How to link to other pages on the web by using URLs
§  How to use links and anchors to link to specific places inside pages
§  All about RULs: the various parts of the URL and the kinds of URLs you can use.
CREATING LINKS
The create a link in HTML, you need two things:
The name of the file (or the URL of the file) to which you want to link
§  The text that will serve as the clickable link.
Only the text included within the link tag is actually visible on your of page. When your readers click on the link, the browser loads the URL associated with the link.

LEARNING THE BASICS OF HTML

Over the first three days, you learned about the world wide web, how to organize and plan your websites, any why you need to use HTML to create a web page. Yesterday, you even created your first very simple webpage.
IN THIS LESSON
Today, you’ll learnt about each of the basic HTML tags in more depth, and begin writing web, pages with headings, paragraphs, and several different types of lists. Today we’ll focus on the following topics and HTML tags:
§  Tags for overall page structure: <html>,<head>, and <body>
§  Tags for titles, headings, and paragraphs: <title>, <h1>through <h6>, and <p>
§  Tags for comments: <!--…….>
§  Tags for lists: <0l>,<ui>,<Li>,<dt>,and <dd>
 STRUSTURING YOUR HTML
HTML defines three tags that are used to describe the page’s overall structure and provide some simple header information. These three tags-<html>, <head>, and <body>-identify your page to browsers or HRML tools. They also provide simple information about the page (such as its title or its author) before loading the entire thing. The page structure tools that interpret or filter HTML files.
In the strict HTML definition, these tags are optional. If your page does not contain them, browsers usually can read the page anyway. These tags, however, are required elements in XHTML 1.0. the most recent browsers already take advantage of XHTML. You should get into the habit of including the page structure tags now.

INTRODUCING HTML AND XHTML

 After finishing up the discussions about the world wide web and getting organized, with a large amount of text to read and concepts to digest, you’re probably wondering when you’re actually going to get to write a web page. That is, after all, why you bought the book. Wait no longer
IN THIS LESSON
§  What html is and why you have to use it
§  What you can and cannot to when you design HTML pages
§  What HTML tags are and how to use them
§  How to write pages that conform to the XHTML standard
§  How you can use cascading style sheets to control the look and feel of your pages.
 WHAT HTML IS-AND WHAT IT ISN’T
Take note of just one more thing before you dive into actually writing web pages. You should know what HTML is, what it can do, and most importantly what it can’t do.
 HTML stands for hypertext markup language. HTML is based on the standard generalized markup language (SGML), a much large document-processing system. To write HTML pages, you won’t need to know a whole lot about SGML. However, knowing that one of the main features of SGML is that is  describes the general structure of the content inside documents-rather than it actual appearance on the page or onscreen-does help. This concept might be a bit foreign to you if you’re used to working with WYSWIYG (what you see is what you get) editors like adobe’s  Dreamweaver or Microsoft front page, so let’s go over the information carefully.
HTML DESCRIBES THE STRUCTURE OF A PAGE
