Tags Define The Structure Of A Web Page
HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets < > :
- HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p> (there are always exceptions to the rule!)
- The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
- You can recognize an end tag thanks to the slash before the tag name.
A Small HTML Document
Copy paste the below html to a new post, in the text window and look at the result in your visual window :
<html>
<head>
<title><strong>Hello<strong></title>
</head><body><h1>I love HTML</h1><p>
<em>It's very easy.<em></p>
</body>
</html>
It should look something like this :
You don't need to worry too much about HTML of course since you're using wordpress, but getting familiar with it can save you a lot of frustration in the future! Plus it's really cool to be able to "talk html"! =D

Such cool training Sarah, opened up a whole new bunch of stuff that I had a tiny bit of understanding about. Dare I say that I might go and experiment when I write next! Thanks for sharing, and please do write another training, this was great.

Thank you for that. Very easy to understand ,and as you said, we all must at some stage do a bit of remodelling within our websites. One trick I do is take a quick screen shot of where i need to make some adjustments before I make them. Just in case i muck it up I can always go back to how it was and start again. Nice training.

Very informative. HTML is still rather daunting, but your tutorial does help make things more understandable

Thanks for another awesome tutorial, Sarah!
I'm not totally ignorant of HTML, but you did teach me something new with the page jumps. I'm not sure that I will have to use that, but if I ever do, I know right where my first stop will be.
I hope you consider doing more of these, I'm sure a lot of people (including myself) could benefit from it.
Have a great day! :)
