Basic HTML

There are many online tutorials on using HTML. The link below is to an excellent site that steps you through creating a basic page.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

Work through the first four pages – Home, Introductions, Elements, Basic Tags.

Use the tutorial and NOTEPAD to create a page displaying the following elements;

• Headings-
• <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <body>
• <h1>This is heading 1</h1>
  <h2>This is heading 2</h2>
  <h3>This is heading 3</h3>
  <h4>This is heading 4</h4>
  <h5>This is heading 5</h5>
  <h6>This is heading 6</h6>
• </body>
  </html>
• Background colours-
• <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <body>
• <p style="background-color:#FFFF00">
  Color set by using hex value
  </p>
• <p style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">
  Color set by using rgb value
  </p>
• <p style="background-color:yellow">
  Color set by using color name
  </p>
• </body>
  </html>
• Paragraph break
• <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <body>
• <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
• </body>
  </html>

The text on your page must be used to explain;

• The function of the Header, Title and Body sections
• The meaning of HTML
• The basic tags you have used to create the page

Note: you must save your file as “.htm”  - this will enable the browser to view the page.

Today We started our assignment. I learnt the basics of Html, htm and webdesigning. I was able to put in a login in code on my home page of my webpage and was able to login and that linked me to the 2nd page. The secound page ( as seen below) is just a simple title and a backround.

At the moment this is on the basic layout which i have yet to plan.

·         simple mail transfer protocol (smtp) - sending an email to another person via the internet

·         file transfer protocol  (FTP)- sending of files to another person via the internet.
