 HTML Lesson 2
Head Head tags are used in very much the same way as <html> tags are used. You need a start <head> and an end </head> tag. The head tags go at the beginning of your html page in-between the start and the end tags of the html. The head tags are used to provide information about your document to the web server, the information contained within the head is used to tell the browser information about the Author, Title, Copyright and other content information. There are several tags that you can use within the head but the most common one is the title tag <title>. Because your document can only have one title it is important that your title is short but descriptive. A general rule when writing your title is to limit it to no more than 65 characters long. Your title tag must also have an end </title> tag to tell the browser where the title stops.
Body The body is the main section of your document it is where everything that you want to display in the browser is located. There are numerous tags that you can use within your body. As you design your page think of the structure of all the elements that you want displayed on your page a well designed page is seamless and achieves its impact from simplisity of design. A page that is natural to the reader may be the result of intense efforts to make it seem that way. Lets take a second to put some of this into practice. Open your text editor and between the Html tags type <head> then below that type </head> then below that type <body> then below that end your body </body> All the tags you just typed should be in between the start and end html tags. It should look like this: <html> <head> </head> <body> </body> </html> Now in-between the head tags enter the title tags start <title> and end </title> the start and end tags of the title should be on the same line with the title between them, now type something like "your Name First Web Page" without the quotes. Ok now lets put some information to display in the body of your document. Between the body tags enter something like "This is the Body of my First Web Page" without the quotes. Now save your page and reload it in your browser, if you have had your browser open then just hit reload and the additions you have just made will be displayed there. If you need to open your document for the first time go to your browser and click on File / Open then either type in the location of the file or hit browse and go to the directory where you have saved it and click it to open. Congratulations you now have created your first complete web page with a head, title and body you're on your way to creating great interactive web pages. Go on to Lesson 3 Paragraphs and Line breaks.
