HTML Tags

Main HTML tags
HTML is used for designing web pages. Open your textpad and you can begin to design a web page. Always begin with the HTML tags below. Once you are done just save your web page as .HTM or as .HTML and your page is ready to be viewed in a browser. If you don’t have textpad you can link to a FREE trial download at http://www.discoveryvip.com/links.htm
