Hello guys. It's quite a long time since I got in here to read.cash. Well my old account @Her-bert has been marked as spam so technically I cannot use that account anymore so I created another one. Read.cash hasn't changed a bit. Still the same old read.cash. Anyway my agenda here is to make html(hypertext mark up language ) look easier and simpler. It's not that hard as some seem it to be. Well if you are interested in creating a website or any other content, this is the right place for you. Feel free to ask any questions and you can also contribute if you know more about it. Let's all contribute to make things better and worth learning.

Now let's get going!

first of all, HTML stands for hypertext mark up language which is used most of the time as the foundation of the creation of websites. HTML uses tags when coding to provide an output which can then be manipulated using css and java. All these work hand in hand to create a website. So first of all. We will start with html.

Let's consider these houses. We are going to assume that the houses represent a fully functionable website hosted to a server. Now let's consider these;

HTML is the framework of the house.
CSS deals with adding cement and mortar to make a structure.
Java deals with the electricals and wiring.

Now in building a website; You must know about HTML and how to use it in the creation of the website.

This is the basic structure of HTML.

<html>

<head>

</head>

</html>

The part with the broken dashes is where the magic happens. You can also insert any tag to make your website look cooler.

Now in order to start learning how to code you have to use text editors like Visual studio code and notepad but I recommend you use Visual studio code. And also I'm providing an output from your codes u need browsers like Firefox and chrome but do not use Internet explorer.

So now I am going to teach you how to write a text on html.

First of all, install Visual studio code on your laptop. I recommend Windows 7 and above. Even though xp might work. And launch VS code. Click on the welcome button and you will see a list of options. Create a folder which will contain your project because we are all going to use the folder we have created to practice. Now that you have created the folder, you can create a file. Make the file an html file by creating a new one and choosing the language(HTML) and save as maybe index.html because the browser would read html files since its a website you want to create.

Now start of with the basic structure above. The one that contains the tags.

Now under the head tag you see title right? Now at the broken dashes give a name to your website. It could be any other name.

<title>my test website</title>. This is what I want to use as my example. This will show as the title of the page on the bar on top. To prove it. Save the file in your folder. I recommend putting your folder as a place where you can quickly access it say the desktop. Now save it and go to the file. Open it with chrome. Oh I almost forgot you have to install a debugger for Chrome on VS code so you will install the suitable debugger for Chrome and open your file using Google chrome. You will see the title of the webpage as "my test website". For writing a text,

<body> Hello world</body>

Well that's the text I want to write. You can write any text of yours. After that refresh the browser and you will see this ;

"Hello world "

You will see this on the web browser page. Now you can write texts on a webpage using HTML.

Well normally html is not hard to learn. This is cool right. And with this you can write a whole lot. Isn't this exciting? Well this is what html generally is about and we are moving on to our next topic which is on;

How to create spaces and paragraphs,links and also how to insert images audio and files to create a website and that will be in my next article.

If you have any questions,feel free to ask.

Spoiler alert!!!!!

This is not entirely part of what I am supposed to do but it's something I usually do at school. After every chat I make with some friends I give spoiler alerts. The next season of money heist is in December😘💥💥.

And also does anyone here watch anime?? I am a mad anime fan here.
