What is HTML and how does it work?

In order to make Web pages<,you create files written in the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML for short) and place them on a Web server.Once you've put your file on a Web server, any browser can retrieve your Web pages over the Internet.The HTML in your Web page tells the browser everything it needs to know to display your page. A server is just a computer connected to the Internet waiting for request from browsers.Each server stores HTML files,Pictures,sounds and other file types. The server "serves up" Web pages and sends them to the browser, the browser retrieves the page. The Browser then Displays the HTML page on your computer. If you don't exactly know what HTML looks like, here's what you would write.

<html>

     <head>

         <title> fryblog</title>

 <body>

    <hi> Welcome to frysblog</h1>

<p>Thank you for checking out my blog

< /p>

  </body> 

</html> 

When the browser reads your HTML, it interprets The tags that surround your text. Tags are just words or characters in angle brackets, Like <head>, <p>,<h1>, and so on.The tags tell the browser about the structure and meaning of your text. 

<html>: Tells the browser this is the start of HTML.

<head>: Starts the page"head"

</head>: Ends the "head"

<body>: Start of the body of page. 

<h1>: Tells browser that "welcome to.." is a heading.

<p>: Start of a Paragraph.

</p>: End of paragraph.

</body>: End of the body.

</html>: Tells the browser this is the end of the HTML.

If you Have Xp All you need Is Notepad to create HTML, You can also do it on a Mac.
