Introduction and Lists

Hi. This is my tutorial page that helps me to understand basic HTML. (That's why some of the stuff on this page looks wackey.) If you're like me, (that is, you know how to italicize, bold and underline, but not much else,) than this might be for you.

I've included explanations of what the commands are beside the commands, so feel free to view the source code. You do that by doing the following:

(("UL" makes a list and "LI" makes points in that list. "UL" needs an end tag, but "LI" doesn't. It's also possible to have lists within lists.))

If the source code isn't showing, the problem could be one of three things...

  1. You don't have a .txt program
  2. A virus is preventing you from seeing the code.
  3. Aliens have intercepted the transmission of this web-page, and have taken the source code hostage. (Hey... I never said this was a serious website, did I?)

((To make a list with numbers, use the "OL" and "OL-end tag" to make an "Ordered list."))

There are 3 types of lists in this document:

Bullit-point
The first one, with all the dots.
Ordered
The next one, with the numbers.
Definitions
The one you're looking at now, which puts a mini-heading over or beside a term.
I like this one the least for some reason.
(("DT" = Defination-List Term. "DD" = Defination-List Defination.))

((The "BR" makes a Line Break. Good for poetry. Skips a line without going to a new paragraph. It is not a "Horizontal Rule". For that, you use "HR". I often get the two mixed up.))

Links

There are three types of anchors, each of which use the HREF command.

Hypertext Reference
Lets you link to other websites that aren't in your computer
For example, Yahoo is a link.
This is an e-mail link. It uses "HREF='mailto:?@?'" as it's command. As always, you can see the source code to check it out.
((Use the "A" tag and end-tag, along with "HREF=" and the website. The URL goes in quotations, and what the URL is called is not in quotations. The URL is part of the A tag.))
Named Attributes
Lets you jump to a spot in your own page
For example, Table of Contents will bring you back to the top.
((Use the "A" tag and end-tag, along with "Name=" and the section's name. The section's name is in quotes.))
Water
What you have on a boat.
It has no reference to programming, unless you want to see one. If so, click here.

Script Effects

These are styles of writing I didn't know about 'till I started programming HTML:
super-script compairson word subscript
muscles (strong)
I really really really mean it (emphasized)
"This is from a book..." (citation)
Old school (type writer)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (various font sizes)

Pictures

And now, here's my favorite part. The part where I can actually make this website look more like a work of art than just text on the screen!! YIPPIE!

So here it is. My first picture file! Drum roll please!

pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata-pata

Ching!

Now all I need to do is learn how to add sound to that...

Tables

Tables are very interesting things. Unfortunately, you can't eat dinner on this one. .eno siht no rennid tae t'nac uoy ,yletanutrofnU .sgniht gnitseretni yrev era selbaT

Legal Stuff

Most of the things I learned, I got from the HTML Tutorial by Case Western Reserve University and Eric A. Meyer. I'd suggest checking it out.

Other things I learned can be found on www.w3schools.com.

Lastly, this site was uploaded using the Tripod building tool for people who know a bit of code.
