HTML

HTML is an easy programming language that can help you build excellent web pages.
HTML Commands are called "Tags". They are usually enclosed in the "greater than" or "lesser than" signs.
Some HTML commands are inserted within the tags themselves.
Below are some basics.

<TITLE></TITLE> Names your page
<BODY> Use this to decide color and background
<embed src=" "> Best tag for adding music to your pages

Just remember that some of these tags are optional but are the basic features of a web page.
There are many other tags used for Tables, Forms, and more.
You can also add in a few Javascript features if you learn them.
