DIY: Building a Website
You really can do this!!!
Home      HTML      HTML Example
All web sites are made of HTML at the most basic level.  You should be aware of this, although I don't expect that you would actually write your web site in HTML.  Here I will go into some basics of HTML.  Again, this is just to make you aware of it and, hopefully, not to scare you.  You may need to access the HTML source code for your web site when you add in certain bells and whistles, such as video or calendars.  However it shouldn't anything more than just copy & paste.

Basic HTML Mark-up Example

In HTML, you will have a beginning tag (such as <h1>) and an ending tag (such as </h1> or in some cases /> or >).
Sample.html:
<html>
<! -- This is my HTML example. -->
<head>
<title>Diane’s Sample Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Diane’s Sample Page</h1>
<p>This is a simple HTML page that shows examples of how to use HTML.
<br />For example, you can:
<ul>
<li>Put text in <b>bold</b>. </li>
<li>Or put text in <i>italic</i>. </li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>To see an example of a web page that I have created you can visit the
<a href=http://clownroundup.com>Clown Roundup web page</a>.
<! -- This is the end of the example. -->
</body>
</html>

This is how it looks in a web browser.  You will notice that the title shows up at the top of the browser window.  You can see the URL by hovering over the hyperlink text (the underlined text).
