Coding my way...

My First HTML page

When I started out with coding, my first HTML page rendition on my browser felt like Magic!!!!

If you are new to this, its might feel the same way too to you. But the magic you feel the first time should be a driving force for you to want to do more and go further. I'm with you on this.

Structure of HTML

The above shows the structure of a basic HTML page with the basic tags opening and closing

Writing your HTML codes

On a previous post, I talked about Web browsers and text editors. You can click on this link to go to that page.

If you have successfully downloaded the installation files and installed them, the next step you should take now is to open the text editor and create a new file. You can name it "first"or anyhow you like..

If you have done that , the the next thing to do is to start coding. Yeah!!!!!

Go ahead and type in the code you see below into the text editor.

After you are done typing, you should save the file.  The file extension of the file should be ".html" like you have ".jpg" for pictures.
For a beginner, I will advise you to save your HTML file on your Desktop folder so it can easily be accessed.

Web browsers automatically recognize HTML file. So, you should just double click on the file and it will be opened up by your default browser.

The result will look like the above on your browser. You did the Magic. If it does not look like that on your browser, then check your code for errors. You do not need internet connection to load your page.
Look forward to my next post to learn more on the topic.
