Starter - The start of my very own Home Page

This is a demonstration document you can use to see how some of the more basic HTML codes are used, and as a Template for you to modify and create your own Page.

If your Browser supports it, select View/Source from the Menu and have a look at the HTML source code that is used to produce this screen. And try selecting File/Save to save this source code to a file on your own disk.

You can produce smaller headings with H2 or H3 etc codes

Here is some plain text, and some bold text. Many of the codes come in pairs such as the Header Codes and the Bold codes as these codes are used to identify the beginning and end of the text you want formatted that way. Note, your Browser program (Mosaic, Netscape, etc) ignores white space and new lines in your source document - if you want a new line, you must tell it with an appropriate code. If I want to get a new line there are two ways of doing that. I can specify the BR code to go down to the next line, like this:
and the Browser obliges! Or if I want to get a bigger space I use the P code - P for Paragraph - and that looks like this:

Here is a new Paragraph.

Actually I prefer to create my HTML text file (source document) with plenty of white space to make it easier to read. I think it is easier to maintain that way.

Yes it is easy to draw a line. Just enter the HR code! Simple.

Hypertext links and advanced topics

Select "Back" on your Browser or click here to return to the "Learning HTML" section; or
Click here for Mid North Coast Internet Home Page

We can do things like these hypertext links later. Just concentrate on getting a simple text-based Page going to start with.

However you might like to include a reference to your own email address. To do that, keep the following line beginning "Email" and substitute your own username for the the word "webmaster"in both instances where it appears in the HTML file. (The first is part of the actual hypertext link, the second is simply the text that appears on the screen.)
