Lessons
» Lesson 1: HTML basics: the language of the web
Get started by exploring the web—what it is, how it works, and which languages it speaks (like HTML, for instance). You'll learn about the essentials of what you need to create a simple web page, and which tools and software to try.
Lesson 2: HTML tutorial: document structure and text
In this lesson, you'll take a tour of the building blocks of HTML. The core part of the lesson examines syntax and attributes, document structure, and headings and paragraphs. Those are weighty words for easy-to-use elements that make up a web page.
Lesson 3: Beyond plain text: images, text formatting, and hyperlinks
With the basics down, you're ready to add some spice to your web page. In this lesson, you'll find out how to create a simple navigational system using hyperlinks, add images, and control text color, size, and placement.
Lesson 4: Web publishing: putting your page online
Publishing your web page is the final step. In this lesson, you'll learn how to find an ISP that's right for you. In addition, you'll explore hosting options (free and fee-based), take a look at space considerations, and, finally, post your page.
