Basic HTML PageFor a lovely duck.
A simple HTML page: Copy and paste the following into a text editor (notepad, editpad lite, NOT MS Word or equivalent):
<html> <!-- tells the world it is a html page -->
<head> <!-- shouts out 'I contain the header information!' -->
<title>What goes in the title bar at the top of your browser
</title> </head> <--! marks the end of header information. -->
<body> <!-- the start of the body. What will be visible on your page. -->
Where you will put your content. <!-- what is says. -->
</body> <!-- signalling the end of the body content -->
</html> <!-- html has left the building. Page over. -->
Save as a html file. Load into your browser. Behold the beauty.
( <!-- these tags are for html comments. The browser will not display these on the page --> )

I absolutely 100% recommend Webmonkey as the BEST online resource for newbie html peoples. Most of the other html resources I used went commercial and you have to pay for their content. Webmonkey be free, be good and be cute. It's also very good.
Unfortunately it's also the only good link I have. Everything else is for PHP, SQL and VBasic. :/
