The language of Web pages may seem confusing - but really, it's quite simple! This language is called HTML or hypertext markup language. There are many tutorials available online. I've selected some to help you get started!

Video #1 - How to Make a Web Page

This tutorial uses a computer generated voice that takes you through all the steps required to create a basic Web page using Notepad.





Here's an excellent interactive HTML tutorial - it allows you to practice writing your own HTML code and see the results as you learn to change the tags.

There is also free wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) Web page creation software available - I like Nvu. You can download it free at: http://www.net2.com/nvu/



Video #2 - Building Web pages with Nvu





Video #3 - Editing HTML in Angel
