Hello there, kind and curious visitor. I guess I should start out with a little about myself. I taught myself "old style" HTML back in 1996-97. I got my first-ever computer in March 1996, and I got online about a month later. By January, 1997, I'd put up my first-ever web page, at GeoCities. I jumped into the non-IT version of "programming," by writing web pages.

        I guess just I wanted to put something online, and learning HTML came fairly easily to me. Now, I can teach rudimentary HTML at virtually any computer, to anyone who can memorize HTML coding, without need of any software. I like helping people express themselves, and learning HTML can get you started. It's something new and different, and another way to let your creativity flow.

        To learn HTML, I began looking into the HTML source coding, the "architecture" of any web page. To look into the source coding, you can right-click on the background of a web page, and choose the "View Source" option. Another way is to click the "View" option in your browser window's Menu bar, also choosing "View Source." This action will bring up a text editor window, like NotePad, if it's a small (25k) web page, without a lot of frills and advertising, or WordPad if it's too-large a file. This web page is hopefully small, simple, and without too many frills.
        If you "View Source" on this web page, you'll see all the HTML coding that went into making it (along with Yahoo-GeoCities advertising coding, too [which is usually the more complicated/nonsensical gobbledy gook...].).

        "Viewing Source," in order to see the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) in a web page differs between computer/browser types. If one uses Windows® Internet Exploder, one can "right-click" their mouse on an 'empty spot' (without a link and/or image beneath it...) in a web page, and View Source is an option. Also, clicking "View" in the browser's Menu bar enables a choice of 'Source.' Windows® Internet Explorer, I believe, has an arguably better View Source function because it automatically opens a NotePad text editing window filled with the HTML, immediately editable!
        To "View Source" with an Apple/Mac, one clicks View -> Source in the Safari Menu bar. This brings up an uneditable version of the HTML source code, kind of a "look all you want, but don't touch a thing!" thing. So, one needs to do a Edit -> Select All -> Copy of the HTML, and then open the program TextEdit. Before pasting the copied HTML into TextEdit, one need to change the format to "plain text," then paste the copied HTML inside, and you can make whatever changes to the page that you like!
        When you've finished making changes to the text file, in either NotePad or TextEdit (or some other text editor, as many are available to download, free, online - I once liked one named EditPad...), you need to save the file as either an .htm or .html file. That is a web page file, and you're on the way to making your own! Actually, you can save web pages as either .txt or .htm/.html, the only difference it really makes is which program is used to open the file, your text editor, as pure HTML source code, or in your Internet broswer as a web page.

        Drats! I dislike making web pages when I'm away from my computer, because I can run the processes, directly through my PowerMac, to make sure what I'm saying is true! Writing a web page on a Windows®XP™ only allows me to double-check the processes Windows® uses! Argh!

• Here is a short web page about HTML Tables, with a link to another web page that is tablescrazy.
• This link goes to a web page trying to explain "Headers and Horizontal Rules" in HTML.

   

          I'll be adding to this page soon, as time permits.
