HTML is the backbone of every webpage. Learning the basics is easier than you think, and even a small understanding allows you to create simple pages, style content, and modify online templates.
“Learning to code is learning to think.” — Steve Jobs
1. Understanding HTML Structure
HTML uses tags to structure content. Basic tags like <h1> for headings, <p> for paragraphs, and <a> for links are essential starting points.
2. Adding Links and Images
Links are created with the <a> tag, and images with <img>. Knowing how to reference files and URLs makes pages interactive and visually appealing.
3. Lists and Formatting
Organize content with ordered (<ol>) and unordered (<ul>) lists. Bold (<b>) and italics (<i>) help emphasize important points.
4. Practice and Experiment
Use a simple text editor or online platforms like CodePen or JSFiddle. Experimenting with code builds confidence and reinforces learning.
