Web Design Tips Articles, Page 2

A web page is simple to create. Just open Notepad (comes with Windows and Mac), label your document at the top in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) <html>, next, add the head <head> tag to the page, close the head tag </head>, add a body tag <body> then your TEXT, and close the body tag </body>, and close the HTML </html>. Save the page with a name like mypage.html (be careful not to save it as mypage.html.txt) then click on the file and it will open in your browser with the text that you added to the body. Example: <html> <head> </head> <body> The Text on the web page goes here. </body> </html>

It's very easy, and you can do this in WordPress using the text editor as well. Just add the following syntax to your web page: <img src="http://path-to your-image.com/path" alt="information about your image"> If you want your image to appear on the left side of the page: <img src="http://path-to your-image.com/path" alt="information about your image" style="float:left"> Using images on your website is a fundamental part of web design and adds more decor and appeal. Images should be close to the same size as they show up on your webpage, and using the "Alt" text helps people with visual disabilities and it also helps search engines understand what your picture is about.
