Welcome

Welcome to my site -- I hope you find it usefull :)

This guide contains short descriptions for a number of the HTML tags that you are likely to use when making a simple website.

A good place to start would be the essential tags section, followed by the basics, which should give you enough information to write your first page.

The rest of the site is divided up into different topics, making it easier for you to go through, with each showing examples on how to use the tags from that topic.

Unsure what "html tags" actually are? ... then check out the what are tags section first.

Stylesheets (CSS)

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are often the preferred way for setting the look and feel of a website. The styles define the colour, size and position of elements, while the HTML defines the content and how it is organised.

Separating them allows you to change the colour scheme without having to rewrite the HTML for example.

Cheat Sheets

For a quick reference list of HTML tags and their attributes, on one page, see the HTML cheat sheet. There is also a stylesheets cheat sheet summarizing the css guide.

Comments on how you think I can improve the cheat sheet are most welcome, so please let me know.

Examples

The best way to learn html is by looking at examples, and you should find lots of them here. Feel free to view the source of the examples, and use it to help write your own pages.

The old site is still available here for anyone looking for it. If you are looking for it because you cannot find something on the new site, please let me know and I will see what I can do.
