HTML

What is HTML?
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It's the language of the internet, and even though it looks daunting, it's actually pretty easy once you get a hang of it. First of all, you have to understand, it' just like telling someone stupid EXACTLY how to do something (Example, how to get a glass of water: Pick up clear pitcher with clear liquid inside. Pour 3/4 into 5 inch glass at 1 mile per hour.).

What are these things?
Those are called "tags". Everytime you want to write something HTML, you put it between two tags, kind of like putting a fence around it so it doesn't run all over the place. You put just plain writing, like what you see now, outside of the tags.

What is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. Instead of just affecting a small area of your page, it affects the WHOLE thing.

What are the some basic HTML codes?
Make sure to replace TEXT or LINKHERE or IMGLINK with the appropriate things. You can combine these! Most things that are capitalized need to be changed.

To make things bold:

To make things italic:

To make things underlined:

To make things strikethroughed:

To make a link:

To make an image ()
(To find an image's IMGLINK if it's on the internet, right click it and press "Properties". Then copy the adress it gives you.)

To make things centered:

To make a new
paragraph

To make things fonty

To put in a background



What are the some basic CSS codes?
CSS codes always start and end in "style". Take any of the colored codes, and put them inbetween these two tags. (What each color-section is for is explained beside it.)
body,div,td,p{font-family: FONTTYPE; color: COLOR; font-size: SIZE}
A{text-decoration: DECORATE; font-family: FONTTYPE; color: COLOR; font-size: SIZE}
body{background: COLOR; background-image: url(IMGLINK)}
scrollbar-face-color : COLOR;
scrollbar-highlight-color : COLOR;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : COLOR;
scrollbar-shadow-color : COLOR;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : COLOR;
scrollbar-track-color : COLOR;
scrollbar-arrow-color : COLOR}
body{cursor: CURSOR}		This changes the fonts on your page. FONTTYPE can be changed to things such as Arial, Verdana or any other font. Color can be any color of the rainbow. Make sure to change size, too. Standard size is 12.
This changes the linkon your page. DECORATE can be changed to: underline, overline, underline overline, line-through, none.
This changes the background. You can have a color and an image, but if you only want a color, erase "background-image: url(IMGLINK)".
This changes your scrollbar. Experiment!
This changes your cursor. CURSOR can be changed to: default, auto, wait, crosshair, hand, help, text, move.
