In this first week you will be introduced to HTML and learn the basics of getting started in web page design. You will learn what you need to begin designing a home page, naming and saving your web page, and loading your web page into your browser.
This week you will study the basic tags used in making web pages and the correct use of tags. HTML works in a very straight forward manner. You type in your text and your tags. A tag tells the computer what to do with the text. To get large print, centered text, bold text, text in italics, indented sentences, colored text, etc. is nothing more than inserting tags around your text. The objective in this lesson is to study all the basic tags used in creating web pages.
In this week you will study tags that affect the appearance of text. How a web page appears in one browser may be different to how it appears in another browser. Therefore, web pages should be designed with both appearance and content in mind. This lesson begins with a study of designing web pages around content and appearance. This lesson also introduces the heading tags, how to center text, and how to emphasize text.
The main objective of this lesson is to learn to create lists. Lists are often used to present information in an easy to read fashion. Lists can also be used to indent information. Lists can be bulleted, numbered, or printed without bullets and numbers. The objective this week is to learn how to make these popular lists.
This week you learn all about links. You use links to connect to other web pages anywhere on the internet, to connect your own web pages together and to jump from section to section within the same web page.
In this final week you will learn all about images, their different formats and how to include them in your web pages. It is the ability of the internet to provide images that makes it so very popular. Images are called pictures, graphics, clip art, icons, etc. There are millions of images out there and many are free for you to use.
