. NEW. NEW. NEW. It's not rocket science. To the uninitiated HTML5 might look like rocket science, but it's not.
Believe me, if you passed high school algebra you can figure this out. My goal on is to give you a good solid start on doing just that. You won't be ready to quit your day job, but.you have to start somewhere!
HTML-5-Tutorial.com is geared to those who want to edit and write HTML code by hand. Knowing how the nuts and bolts of a webpage fit and work together gives you the means to utilize HTML5's full potential. Debugging and tweaking the code is easier and it greatly facilitates search engine optimization ( SEO).
So what is HTML5? HTML5 is a language – a language computers use to 'speak' to each other.
However, left to their own devices, computers are mute machines – we aren't, and in the words of the Great Bard. 'Therein lies the rub.'
I am learning HTML and CSS and am soon going to get certified in it as well, and I thought that it would be a good idea to give out a tutorial on how to start designing your own website using HTML and a little bit of CSS. HTML is an abbreviation for Hyper Text Markup Language. CSS is an abbreviation for Cascading Style Sheets.

HTML is actually used to create the webpage and the content that it has, like the images and writing. CSS is used to design the webpage and tell the writing and images to be in a certain place, like an image on the top of the page, another in the center etc. 'Anything on the internet can be modified, deleted or added just with the use of HTML and CSS! Even on instructables.com!' The best thing is.
All you need is a computer! So lets get started on our journey into web designing. If you are surfing the web and find any website interesting and cool, and want to find out what and how it was made, or to find out what HTML coding they used, then all you need to do is,. Right click on any blank area on the webpage.
Click view page source. This will open up a new window or a tab according to your settings showing the HTML code that the website runs on. Willie nelson. NOTE: Some websites like instructables, google, youtube etc use a lot of Javascript in their coding, so don't get scared.after reading this instructable, you will be easily able to understand what HTML and CSS are and the fundamental tags. HTML as I said before is Hyper Text Markup Language.
Everything in HTML works by the use of 'Tags', Tags are elements in an HTML document that give commands to the writing or images or audio or video files what to do, where to be placed etc in a website. In HTML, tags always have ' after the tag. Ex- (This tag makes the text bold) All HTML documents start and end with These tags tell the browsers that this file is a webpage and not just an ordinary text file. All HTML documents have a 'Head' and a 'Body' tag. So all HTML documents have a structure similar to this.
(Starting the html document) (Starting the head tag) (Ending the head tag) (Starting the body tag) (Ending the body tag) (Ending the html document) NOTE: HTML tags are not case sensitive, this means that it does not matter if you write them with capitals or small letters. Every HTML tag, has an opening and a closing tag, and any content between those tags, gives that content the property the tag commands.ex.
(This is to bold the text) Some HTML tags have the opening and closing tag in the same tag.ex: (This is to break line) Whatever is in the body tags, is directly shown on the webpage, and whatever there is in the head tags, they define and give information about the webpage that is not seen when you view the page on a web browser. In HTML there are 6 sets of tags used for headings. These tags all go in the body tags.
This is the largest heading This is the smallest heading NOTE:Most people make a mistake on using these tags to make the text bigger or smaller, and that should not be done, as search engines define the page by these headings to find out which parts of the page is what.and just using it for font size would not give a good definition for the page by the search engines. In HTML, there are about 5 tags which define text in the webpage. These tags go in the body section of the HTML document. Everything in here will be set out as a new paragraph This adds a line break (Its like pressing 'Enter' on the keyboard while typing) This adds a line wherever placed in the document (Horizontal Rule) Everything in here will be shown just as it is typed.all spaces and 'Enters' when we type will be shown on the webpage The most common tags out of these are the and tags as they are used in almost any and every webpage. The pre tag is great if you are lazy and just want the spaces and enters to be as you will instead of adding the other text elements, but then it will be hard again for browsers and search engines to analyze your page.
These elements go in the body tags again as they define text that is shown on the webpage. There are 3 main logical styles for text in HTML.
Text in here is emphasized Text in here is strong Computer code is put in here The emphasis tag just makes the text italic, but a little more bent than normal italic font. The strong tag makes the text bold, but also makes it a little more closer, as the letter spacing is reduced. The code tag defines computer code that is needed to show on the webpage, it has a different font and the spacing and size of the font are small. This is one of the simplest things to do in HTML. This tag is inserted in the body section of the document as well. The above tag adds an image to your page.and if you want to align it then all you need to do is add: align='right' align='letf' align='center' Add either one of those right after you close the quotes and before the greater than sign Note: The image you are adding should be in the same folder that your HTML document is saved in, or else you need to specify the file path to the image.

In HTML, there are 2 types of lists: 1) Bulleted or unordered 2) Numbered or ordered These again go in the body part of the document. Each item in the list is specified with the List Item tag. First list item Second list item Third list item First list item Second list item Third list item The first one is an ordered list which shows the list with numbers from 1,2,3 and so on. The second one is an unordered list which shows the list with bullet points.
In HTML, there are 3 main types of links, 1) Ordinary link, to link to a different online website or to link to another webpage on your computer. 2) Images link, to use an image itself as a clickable link. 3) Mailto link, to make a link that opens up an email client. These tags also go into the body tag of the document An ordinary link: Jump to Google An image link: A mailto link: Send email defines an anchor, it is used in all links and inline links as it makes an anchor wherever it is inserted in the code. The property 'href' in the tag tells the anchor to link to which website or another anchor itself in some cases. Have you seen those cool websites which have an index linking to different parts of their page?
(Look at the contents part) To make those, we use the anchor tags and link 2 anchor tags together, These tags are also used in the body part of the document. Step 5 Jump to step 5 The first tag tells that the text Step 5 is anchored to the document with the name of 'Step 5' The second tag is the link tag which makes the text 'Jump to step 5' a link that links to the Step 5 anchor we made before. Using this tag is an absolute necessary for websites which state lots of information like Wikipedia:). Tables are main parts if your website is based on stats and details.the tables sort of look like Microsoft Excel tables but you can make them look more interesting by editing them in CSS which we will cover later in this instructable.
Tables consist of 3 things.or more like 3 tags. All these tags go into the body section of the document as well.
The table tags tell the document where the table starts and ends The tr tags add a row to the table (Table Row) The td tags add cells to the table (Table Description) Have a look at the images to get a better understanding at how tables work.as tables are one of the hardest parts in HTML. Frames and IFrames are the same thing, as they are used to show a webpage in a box like thing inside another webpage. IFrame is used when you only have one webpage you want to show on your webpage in a little box. This will show www.google.com in a small frame in your website.
Frames always are inside a and tags as these tags group the frames. Do the exact same thing as but they are used when you have more than 1 frame (webpage) you want to show and are grouped by tags.How many ever frames you insert, those are shown in the same browser window and they are split equally. When using frames, you cannot use the tags so all you can do is display more than 1 webpage in a browser window.Adding the tags will stop the tags from working An easy way to remember which is which, iframe is for single frames as 'I Frame' sounds like 'Independent Frame' These tags are not very common in most of the websites.but some websites still do use these tags.
Basics Of Web Design Html5 Css3 4th Edition
In HTML, if you want to insert text like © etc then you often use HTML entities to show the symbols so that they do not get mixed up with tags in the document. All the entities start with an & sign. < = (Greater than symbol) © = © (Copyright symbol) = (Non-Breakable Space) (HTML deletes any extra spaces you add in your writing, so in a tag if you have 10 spaces, only 1 space will be seen as the rest are deleted.if you want all of those to be seen then you add the entity to your tag and that will add 1 permanent space to your tag. There are 2 ways you can write an entity, one is with the character code like the first 2 examples, and the other way is with the number code, like the third example.(Number entities have '#' before them) These entities are essential if you want your HTML document to display everything as you want and not mix up etc with the tags. These two tags are used to show quotations. The Quotation tag is used to show short quotations. The Quotation tag is used to show long quotations The tag adds quotes before and after its content ( 'Content' ) The Quotation tag separates the text from the surrounding by making it into a block and indent it a little, like we do it in essays to block long quotations in a different paragraph THIS TEXT HAS BEEN BLOCK-QUOTED (This is a block-quote) The tag is quite useful as it indents the content, but the tag is not that useful as we could just add quotes ourselves but it makes the text more organized.
This is another head element. It gives description of what your site is to the internet. The first tag is a description meta tag and the content describes your website.
The second tag is a keyword meta tag and the content gives keywords about your website. There are other meta tags out there used for different things like 'meta author' etc but these are the most common ones. NOTE: Search engines and website ranking softwares look for the meta tag to understand what the website is about and what cateogary does it belong to. Every CSS rule has 2 parts in it, 1) Selector (Each rule can only have 1 selector) 2) Declaration (Each rule can have more than 1 declaration) Selector is the actual HTML tag that you want to style and edit, so if you want to change the look of a tag, then Selector = h1 Declaration = color:purple font-weight:bold (These declarations are used if you want to make anything contained in the tag to be in purple color and be seen in bold) In declarations, the first part is the property, 'CSS property' (color, font-weight) and the second part is the 'value' (purple, bold). If you are using an external style sheet for CSS, then you will need to link the style sheet to the HTML document in the head tag using The 'href' attribute should have the file name of your CSS file.and all external CSS files must end with the filetype '.css' CSS files should not contain any HTML tags like etc.
If you are using an internal style sheet, then you write the following in the head tags: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The xxxxxxxx should have everything that your external style sheet had in it.so it should have all the rules in it. If you are using an inline style then you will need to do the following: If you want to style the tag with an inline style, Then you need to add an attribute 'style' and all your rules go in there. This is a heading.
NOTE: Inline styles should be used as least as possible because CSS was created so that there is no styling in the HTML document, so if there are inline styles everywhere in your document, then its a waste as your HTML document has styling in it. I will attach 2 notepad files which have summaries of CSS and HTML, I searched and collected all the information and edited it to make a good summary. In this instructable, I covered topic of HTML 4.01 and not HTML 5.0 because it is still under development and a lot of the tags are still being changed, removed etc.so I decided to teach you the more stable HTML 4.01 I covered CSS 3.0 as it is the latest version and is quite stable. If you have any questions, then post them in the comments, I will be happy to clarify your doubts. If you are actually going to make a website, then once you do make it, post a comment with the code:) I would like to see what sorts of cool websites you make!
I learnt HTML from a couple of websites and in school. W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium, they set all the web standards for HTML and all the tags and their values w3.org is their website as mentioned above What Next?. Now that you know the basics of HTML and CSS, you can research online for more advanced tutorials (YouTube has some very good tutorials).Once you think you have mastered these languages, you can go ahead and apply for a certification.and then once you are certified, you can make your own websites and make yourself a living.if you become a website designer.lets call it 'webmaster'. Start learning Javascript or another scripting language to make your website more interactive. Start learning AJAX, PHP etc.to start collecting information from users, like logins etc. Go for the more hard and advanced C, C, Java or other powerful programming languages to become a program desginer and not just a web designer.
Attachments. I love your blog, guys, but I’m very disappointed, that you don’t take a look at the web designers in Australia (or I just don’t saw it?). Anyway, I wanna recommend you an online blog of a very talented lady from Brisbane. This web page is a naturally essence of design in Australia I think, that jobs of this girl are awesome. I love this drawing style so much, it’s very creative.
And another interesting fact: Olya was born in Russia. It’s amazing, I think, that Russian designers will be a new avant-garde of webdesign.
