Ever want to make your own site from scratch without having to use a crummy WYSIWYG?(what you see is what you get) Well after reading my lessons you may well be on your way. Depends on how much you paid attention :p Anyway to begin.

----------------------------------------------
Materials:
All you need is wordpad and a computer.
----------------------------------------------

All "coding" must go between these <>. It lets it know that you are wanting to perform a special function. After declaring you must end it like this

A little example.

My first webpage

Hello world.

Time to break it down.

lets it know that is the webpage language your using. Another is PHP but I know nothing about that :p

lets it know that thats the head of the webpage.
tells it the name of webpage you are creating.<br /><body> lets it know that you are working on the body of the site.<br />Hello World - The text that will appear.<br /><br />Well there you go.

An example of this is in the above example: The <title> tag can only be placed within <head> tags.<br /><br />To make your webpage fancy, you'll want to format your text. The following are a few common tags used for such a purpose. Unless stated otherwise, all text affected will be place between a beginning and end tag.<br /><br /><b> - Makes text <strong>bold</strong>.<br /><i> - <em>Italicizes</em> text.<br /><u> - <span class="bbc_u">Underlines</span> text.<br /><strike> - Puts a [STRIKE]line through[/STRIKE] your text.<br /><h1> - Sets text at a large header size.<br /><h6> - Sets text at a small header size.<br /><br> - DOES NOT NEED A CLOSING TAG! Will move text to the next line, as if you hit the enter button.<br /><pre> - Preformats text, so that you don't have to use the <br> tag.</div> </div> </div> <div class="moderatorbar"> <div class="smalltext modified" id="modified_120048"> </div> <div class="smalltext reportlinks"> <img src="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/Themes/charas2/images/ip.gif" alt="" /> Logged </div> <div class="signature" id="msg_120048_signature">Hrm.</div> </div> </div> <span class="botslice"><span></span></span> </div> <hr class="post_separator" /> <a id="msg120049"></a> <div class="windowbg"> <span class="topslice"><span></span></span> <div class="post_wrapper"> <div class="poster"> <h4> <img src="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/Themes/charas2/images/useroff.gif" alt="Offline" /> <a href="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=aqas9ptbnbd43orie8u8l74044&action=profile;u=9331" title="View the profile of AsakuraHao2004">AsakuraHao2004</a> </h4> <ul class="reset smalltext" id="msg_120049_extra_info"> <li class="title"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v349/Macangy/dd4b96aa.png"><br>RAM-TORTOISE!!</li> <li class="postgroup">Exemplar</li> <li class="stars"><img src="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/Themes/charas2/images/rank1000.png" alt="*" /></li> <li class="avatar"> <a href="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=aqas9ptbnbd43orie8u8l74044&action=profile;u=9331"> <img class="avatar" src="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/avatars/avatars/avatar0.gif" alt="" /> </a> </li> <li class="postcount">Posts: 1,623</li> <li class="blurb">AIM: dakutenshisdemon YIM: desimodontidae</li> <li class="profile"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.rpg4.tk" title="" target="_blank" class="new_win"><img src="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/Themes/charas2/images/www_sm.gif" alt="" /></a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="postarea"> <div class="flow_hidden"> <div class="keyinfo"> <div class="messageicon"> <img src="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/Themes/charas2/images/post/xx.gif" alt="" /> </div> <h5 id="subject_120049"> <a href="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=aqas9ptbnbd43orie8u8l74044&topic=14027.msg120049#msg120049" rel="nofollow">(No subject)</a> </h5> <div class="smalltext">« <strong>Reply #2 on:</strong> October 07, 2005, 11:30:10 PM »</div> <div id="msg_120049_quick_mod"></div> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <div class="inner" id="msg_120049">Also note that the tags moose posted don't have to be closed in the order they're opened, as an HTML book lied to me about.</div> </div> </div> <div class="moderatorbar"> <div class="smalltext modified" id="modified_120049"> </div> <div class="smalltext reportlinks"> <img src="http://www.charas-project.net/forum/Themes/charas2/images/ip.gif" alt="" /> Logged </div> <div class="signature" id="msg_120049_signature">AKA Desimodontidae.

Closing them in a random order is bad coding and will screw up older browsers.
