Hey, I want to make my own website but I heard that if you know how to write HTML codes it's much easier. So I've decided to take that advice and put the first step to learning how to write HTML codes hoping to be a pro someday :p . Well, right now, I do not know anything about it. If you have experiences, please share, if you have sites that show how to do it, please do give. Thank you ^^.

1. Open notepad *Go to start-then accessories-then notepad*
2. When you began typing, type the following:
*You don't have to type in all caps, it's just common*
<HTML>
<TITLE>
<HEAD>

Definitions
HTML- stands for Hyper Text Markup Language; it is a computer language that is used to build webpages and for programming.
<code> this is known as the open tag. Whenever you are going to use any HTML, you put it into one of theses in order for the computer to recognise it.
</code> this is what is known as a close tag. Whenever you have finished with a code and wish for it to not effect any of your webpage's content, you put a close tag.
Example:
<code>What is the square root of seven</code>

Saving- Whenver you save your notpad files, you should save it as .htm
For instance: index.htm
When you go to reopen it, it should appear as the internet explored or whatever browser you use.
Title- Notice the white letter is the corner at the top of this page(located at the top of your browser along with the minimize and close buttins) that says Poke-International-Forums-(your browser)
Well that is what you title is ^_^ whatever you type in that are is the title.
Example:
<HTML>
<TITLE>Your page</TITLE>
<HEAD>

Head- your heading is where you can put the title, that wil appear at the top of the page. (you can also put your javascript here, but don't worry about that) You don't close your heading yet...unless you want to.
Example:
<HTML>
<TITLE>Your Page</TITLE>
<HEAD> My Page

Body- the body tag is where all of your html goes and the main contents of your page goes(sort of like writing a paragraph).
The tag goes like this:
<BODY BGCOLOR=YOUR COLOR>
Or
<BODY BACKGROUND="IMAGE FILE.GIF">(GIF, JPEG, BMP, Whichever)

The full layout looks like this:
<HTML>
<TITLE>Your page</TITLE>
<HEAD> My Page



<BODY BGCOLOR=color>

<---the contents of your page----->


</HEAD>
</BODY>
</HTML>
