Website Beginner for wanna be web designers

    

Basic HTML Continued

New metatags we'll use in this lesson are:

<p></p> The Paragraph. It creates a line break and adds an extra line afterwards.

<br> This is a Break, which takes you directly to the next line, without any extra lines. Notice that this one doesn't need a closing tag.

<b></b> This makes text bold.

<i> </i> This makes text italic. (see? this stuff isn't scary at all).

Let's reopen our file, "first.html" and mess around, shall we?


Make these changes:

<html>
<head>
<title>The Best Page Ever!</title>
</head>
<body>
I just made my very first page. I'm cool.
<br>
I <b>love</b> this stuff! Designing a webpage is actually kinda easy.
<p>Who'd of <i>thunk</i> it? Enough already, I'm getting bored.</p>
</body>
</html>

Save it, open it in your browser and enjoy the fine fruits of your labor.

HTML allows for one space typed with the space bar. If you type more than one consecutive space, it'll ignore all but the first. Don't worry though, use a non-breaking space &nbsp; to add more spaces.
