Page
If you have always wanted to make your own Web page, but you were under the
impression that it would be very difficult, then there should really be no problem. To
create your own Web page, all you need to have is a thorough understanding of HTML.
And HTML is not all that difficult to learn.
1.1 What is HTML?
HTML is actually shorthand for Hypertext Markup Language. It is the language of Web
pages that tells a browser how to display certain elements, such as text and images
through the use of codes and symbols.
HTML is the standard when it comes to creating Web pages. The World Wide Web
Consortium, or W3C recommends it. Being such, most browsers implement HTML to
help display Web pages more or less uniformly.
