This is the first page I have written in HTML, all my others
I wrote using FrontPage 2000. I wrote this in Windows Notepad.
As I learn this programming language I would like to teach
others as well, so I am going to place many of the most popular
HTML tags on this page with descriptions to go with each and
maybe a few examples too.
The language is made of 'formatting codes' that let you set up
your pages however you want. The basic codes are called 'tags'. Tags
come in two forms. They can be paired, which means you need two tags
to complete it -- one to start and one to stop the
formatting. They can also be unpaired, which means there is just one
tag which formats anything that follows it.

it from Nic's JavaScript Page)
As I was writing this, I found one site very useful. It was called Homepage Help and gives lots of tips and tricks for HTML. I also had the help of a book called "Build A Website The Lazy Way, written by Kathryn Toyer and published by Macmillan Publishing.
