Hyperlinks
Ok, so you want to make a webpage but you don't know anything about it. Well, this should explain it. And if it doesn't then you can mail me. Alright, the first thing you need to do is open up Notepad for windows or Simple Text for Macintosh. On Windows, go to the start menu and then to programs, then to accessories. Notepad is in that folder somewhere. For Simple Text, your on your own. I have windows.
So now that you have notepad open you can start building your webpage. Here is what you should type in:
<html>
<head>
<title>here goes your title</title>
</head>
<body>
.................
</body>
</html>
Ok, now here is what it is. The <html> and all the other ones are called tags. Tags are pieces of text in little things like this => <>. So this tag <html> tells the browser (Internet Exploere, Netscape and others) that this file is a webpage. This one is the ending tag. It's </html>. See how it has a slash. It means it's and ending tag. The <head> is the head tag. The title tag has the title of your webpage and the body tag the body of your webpage. So there you have it, wah la.

this starts a new line
<b>bold text</b>
<i>Italic text</i>
<big>big text</big>
Ok, got that. Good.

Ok, This will be fast and quick
<a href="http://www.go.com">go network</a>
Ok, got that. Now that <a href="http://www.go.com"> part simply has the target of the hyperlink in the qoutes. If it is in the same folder, you only need the filename and not the other stuff. If it's in a subfolder then say the subfolder then the filename such as stuff/it.html ok? Then the >go network</a> tells the computer what the text is and to end the hyperlink. I hope that was simple enough because i'm not getting into anymore detail. Need help, E-mail with the link at the top.
