One of the common myths about HTML is that you need to be a programmer or at least a technical wizard in order to learn it. In fact HTML is really just a text version of a program like Microsoft Publisher^®. HTML uses tags to specify the style or location of text, images, or other objects. So to make a word bold you have to put <B> in front of the word and </B> at the end of the word. The equivalent operation in Microsoft Publisher^® or most other programs would be to highlight the word and press the 'Bold' button. As you can see most HTML tags are fairly simple. By combining a few simple tags you can create very complex looking designs on your webpage. With the inclusion of some pre-written Javascripts and a few simple graphics, you can create a website similar to any professional webpage.
