Building your first web page ( cont. ) HTML TAGS Understanding HTML tags and the way they work is very important. First and foremost, most HTML tags come in pairs, meaning that if you have one, you need the other. Lets look at this example. <TITLE>Your page title</TITLE> This is the title tag. It determines what the title of your html document is going to be. Notice how it opens with <TITLE>, then closes with </TITLE>. An example of a tag that doesn't need a closing bracket, is the <BR> tag, or break tag. It simply defines a break in the text, moving the remaining text to the next line, so it doesn't need a closing bracket. Many tags have attributes, or values that will modify that particular tags behavior. For example the <P> tag, or the paragraph tag, could be written as<P ALIGN=CENTER>, to center the paragraph. Other then getting too deep into tags at this moment, lets start by what the general layout of the page should look like, if you were looking at the HTML code. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Your page title here</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Your content here. </BODY> </HTML> Wondering what that will look like so far? Well not much, click here to see it.
