Adding, deleting and updating your records is a snap, and as the case with all of our products,
the Keyper is easy enough to be used by even the least experienced Windows user.
Never again waste time looking for that password and login you KNOW you saved somewhere on your machine.

HTML Editors and Web Page Design

HTML Editors

Some WYSIWYG editors are also available (e.g.,WebDwarfV2 and Adobe PageMill). You may wish to try one of them after you learn some of the basics of HTML tagging.

WYSIWYG is an acronym for "what you see is what you get"; it means that you design your HTML document visually, as if you were using a word processor, instead of writing the markup tags in a plain-text file and imagining what the resulting page will look like.

It is useful to know enough HTML to code a document before you determine the usefulness of a WYSIWYG editor, in case you want to add HTML features that your editor doesn't support.

Tags Explained

To denote the various elements in an HTML document, you use tags. HTML tags consist of a left angle bracket , a tag name, and a right angle bracket .

Every HTML document should contain certain standard HTML tags. Each document consists of head and body text. The head contains the title, and the body contains the actual text that is made up of paragraphs, lists, and other elements. Browsers expect specific information because they are programmed according to HTML and SGML specifications.

See Beginner's Guide below for a full Tutorial.
