HTML Language of the Internet
HTML is the acronym for HyperTextMarkupLanguage. HTML is a recognized universal code language used on the World Wide Web (the internet). This is the code you use to build web pages. Essentially, this code allows you to direct how you want your web pages to look–colors, sizes, indents, fonts, etc. So as you are looking at this web page–written with the help of HTML–you are seeing how we directed the page to look–good, bad or indifferent.
In order for you to designate how or where you want things to go you use “tags” or indicators your computer understands and translates into what you visually see. The actual technical aspects of how and why this all works is less important at the moment than just knowing that it is the means of communicating what you want others to see on your web page. There are rules and parameters to follow to make these things happen.
You will read or hear others tell you that you do not need to know HTML in order to have a website. On the surface this is true. There are plenty of services that will do all of the work for you, or using templates where some of the basic layout is done for you. All that having been said HAVING A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HTML WILL AND WILL NOT DO FOR YOU IS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL. Think of it like driving a car. You may not know all of the workings of your car, but you do have to have some idea of what is what: where to put gas in the car, where to put the oil, how to start the car, etc. There is more to it than just pressing on the gas to go, or stepping on the brake to stop . . . you get the picture! The same is true of having an understanding of HTML, and how it’s used.
TAKE THE TIME TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF TUTORIALS TO GAIN SOME UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HTML IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO FOR YOU–IF YOU HAVE LITTLE OR KNOWLEDGE OF HTML.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE “MUST DO” ITEMS AS YOU BUILD YOUR WEB INCOME BUSINESS! DON’T SHORT CHANGE YOURSELF HERE.
We continue to expand our knowledge base by learning more about HTML as we go along–you should too. If you are doing everything for yourself you have to have HTML down pat.
There are many tutorials on the internet you can use to begin and expand your knowledge base. There are two we have used:

This is a more in depth tutorial on HTML. Our only dislike is the extra busy stuff on the page. If you overlook this busy stuff to begin with you’ll have some great information.
There are a couple of sites where you can get just the code tags:
