So, you probably clicked here to learn some basic HTML. Whether if you want to make your club a layout or are in for some serious coding business and don't know how to start, you've come to the right place ;D
Starting off, what exactly is HTML? It actually stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, a language that a computer will understand and use. It is the basics of programming and how people are able to get those "pretty webpages".
And yes, HTML is pretty ridiculous at times and an extremely difficult thing to learn. Yes, harder then graphics, harder to get used to then your wonderful GIMP or Photoshop.
However, you might be delighted to hear that it is harder even to teach. Even with a miraculous teacher like me, if I do say so myself. *Blushes and kicks hind legs*
Okay, enough, enough. Let's get started.
All HTML tags are written inside triangle brackets (<,>) Ignore how I got it to show up back there, you'll learn soon enough^^
So yes, that means that everything inside the brackets DO NOT show up unless certain coding goes against it to make it show up. Even if you write some stupid phrase that is obviously not a code inside, it won't do anything, but it won't show up.
The next thing you might want to learn is the basic, handy dandy coding. Bold, italic, underlined text, links, etc.
Now, those were just basic things. There are many styling effects (Like my link is purple and when you scroll over it it turns a purdyer shade of purple) that come into order, and your links and such won't look the same, but that's the basics. Tables, especially double-celled tables, really come into play in advanced coding...it is what shapes an HTML document. I remember someone saying that to me, don't remember who exactly, but I came to know it to be true. Without tables you wouldn't have anything.
Now, those are the basics. There are plenty more things I can explain, but let's just keep it simple, shall we? If you find this tutorial interesting, you might want to check out the ones I will be writing in the future. There will be one that deals with tables and another that deals with styling. Keep playing around with those codes, and who knows, you might just be able to make a layout =D
