About making web pages
I suggest starting with:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE> </TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
This will be your starting point for your page. Type this in a Notepad file and save it as a .html or .htm file. When you open your web page (if you open it right now if the extention is htm/html, the file will open in your web browser instead of notepad), it should look like this:
Now type something in under the BODY "tag", like this:
<BODY>
Hello
</BODY>
You should see "Hello" appear on your web page. If you don't see it you can click "Refresh" on your browser.
Now try typing this:
<BODY>
Hello.
Goodbye.
</BODY>
Your text will appear as "Hello.Goodbye." What happened to the spaces? Why didn't it appear as:
"Hello.
Goodbye. "?
You need to put another "tag" to account for the spaces. Type this:
<BODY>
Hello.
<BR><BR>
Goodbye.
</BODY>
Your text will now appear as:
"Hello.
GoodBye."
That's just elementary compared to the actuall range of HTML. Recognize this?:

Let's just hope kindergardners don't get taught that. :)
