Web design blog post 1: TAGS!


So, lately we learned the four basic HTML container tags that are needed in every web page. <html>,<head>,<title>,<body>. then of course we learned how to close them by just putting a slash in front of the tag name (</html>, </head>, </title>, </body>). If you have ever used forum tags like ([QUOTE][/QUOTE] etc.) they are basically the same thing but with angle brackets (><). The "<html>" tag is telling the browser where the code ends and begins. The "<head>" tag defines the website info that you don't see on the page (the stuff that shows up in a search engine, title, description etc.) and includes the "<title>" tag that defines the title you  see at the top of your browser. The last basic tag you need is "<body>" which contains what you see on the web page, links, text, pictures, all of that goes here. When you finish with each space just close the tag and move on. That is pretty much what we learned last week and it was pretty easy to understand.
