HTML SURVIAVAL PAGE
Welcome to my HTML Help Page. Here I hope to help you learn
how to create your very own little space on the World Wide Web. Below
is are some questions that you will need to answer in order to start at
the right spot on this page. Just follow the links and do what it says to
do. Okay, everybody ready? Get started.
QUESTION ONE
Do you currently have your own little webpage?
If you answered yes to that then skip to Question TwoIf you
answered no, then you will need to follow one or more of the following links
to site that will provide you with a free personal webpage.
GEOCITIES
ANGELFIRE
FORTUNE CITY
QUESTION TWO
Alright, now everyone here has there very own undeveloped webpage, correct.
Okay now we can get to Question Two.
Did you use a webpage generator?
This means when signed up for your webpage, did you use a niffty little
program asked you what color you wanted the background, text, links, did you
want any pictures, things like that. If you aren't sure, than you probably
did. If you answered no then proceed to part Three.
Now we only have the folks that answered yes, right? Good. You will need
to know a little bit about HTML.
HTML is the language that internet speaks. HTML is a code and to create a
webpage you will have to write this code out. It isn't hard, it only takes
a little time to learn. I suggest bookmarking this page for future
referance.
When you start a webpage there is a certain code that must be followed.
HTMLthis lets the computer know that it is reading html
HEADthis is where you will put your page head
TITLEput your page title here, mine is HTML HELP PAGE
/TITLEthis tells the computer that the title is over
/HEADthis tells the computer that the head is over
BODYThis signifies the start of the body of your page. Inside this tag
you also put your colour specifications.
/BODYthis will tell the computer that the body is over
/HTMLThis will tell the computer that the document is over
PART THREE
Okay, now you have your basic homepage. Now it is time to give it some
style. You are now ready to personalize your site.
First let's start with some colour. What color scheme do you want? To
change the colors you will go to the body tag,
. Once there
you will tell the computer what you want to colour. The coding should look
something like this:
BODY bgcolor="#$$$$$$" text="#$$$$$$" link="#$$$$$$" vlink="#$$$$$$"
You will replace the $s with letters (a-f) and numbers (0-9) experament to
get the scheme that fits your page.
PART FOUR
Now you have your page up and running with whatever text you have
decided on and whatever colour scheme you liked. You have noticed that
most sites have links, text or pictures that link you to another site,
another page on the same site, or another part of the document. Links help
your visitors get around. Use the following guide to help you in adding
some links to your page.
SYSTEM TO SYSTEM JUMP
<a href="http://link url">Link text</a> This is a link to
another site.
SAME SYSTEM JUMP
<a href="page.html">Link text</a> This is a link to another page
on the same site.
DOCUMENT JUMP
<a name="target_name"> Put this where you want the linkt to jump.
<a href="#target_name"> This is to be clicked to cause the jump.
PART FOUR
Okay, now what is a webpage without images? Inserting images is easy.
First upload your images to a file manager. this is the place where you
do all of your editing. Each image will have a file name just like each
documentdoes. This document is index.html, each page image and will have
a unique name.
<src img="image_name">
that is all there is too it.
PART FIVE
Okay, now that you ahve created your work of art, do you want your visitors
to have the opption of contacting you? Right now we will discuss the
"mail to" opption. We will get into a form message later, but this will do
for now.
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">E-mail text</a>
Okay, this should be enough to get you started. Check back soon for updates
and our page addition for webmasters.
