How to create a html page

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.  Creating a html page is so easy and simple.  Just follow the easy steps below and you will learn to create a basic html page within minutes.

You can create you HTML page by just using a basic text editor like Note Pad or you can use a software where the software would actually write the code for you.  Html codes also known as Html tags are used with (<) lesser then and (>) greater then brackets.  An example would be: <Html> </Html>

On the example above, <Html> opens the command and </Html> ends it.

The basic structure for a Html page is:

<html>
<head>
<title>Title of your page</title>
</head>
<body>

This is the area where you content goes that will be visible to all the visitors to your site.

You can include  Html codes in this part.
</body>
</html>

The above code is the basic layout for a website.  You should always begin using this layout.  Below is the structure above explained:

<html> – Begins your HTML document.

<head> – Contains information about the page such as the TITLE, META tags for proper Search Engine indexing, STYLE tags, which determine the page layout, and JavaScript coding for special effects.

<title> – The TITLE of your page.

</title> – Closes the HTML <title> tag.

</head> – Closes the HTML <head> tag.

<body> -This is where your actual content goes.

</body> – Closes the HTML <body> tag.

</html> – Closes the <html> tag.

How to make a good website

These days, everybody gets to have a website because technology and compitition has really improved!  Even little kids have websites!  When making a website, you should always plan out first instead of randomly chosing a topic and starting a random website.

First. Reasearch how you are going to accomplish your goals, and make a plan.  This is a MUST.  If you don’t know what you are doing and how you are going to do it, you are just planning to fail.  You must know how to do what you are going to do.

Choose a good topic.  Make sure you choose a good topic because you are going to write about this all the time.  People visiting your website are going to have questions for you and you need to know how to respond.  Choose something you like to do, like a hobby of yours or your job or something of that kind.  If you like playing soccer, then make a website about soccer.

Write good content.  When you write good content, then you have a + on search engine rankings.  Also other websites will show you as a source and your site popularity will increase which will help you with your rankings, which will attract more visitors to your website.

Make sure you know what you are suppose to be doing.

Shoutbox for your website

This article will explain how to add a shoutbox to your website.  A shoutbox is like a chat system that visitors can leave messages for you and others to see.  Usually they can leave thank you notes, comments and any other ideas that they want to discuss.

Most of the shoutbox scripts are freeware which means they are free to use.  On my example I will consider using PHP Shoutbox 1.1

1. Search and download the PHP script called Shoutbox 1.1.It can also be found at this link:

http://phpform.net/shoutbox.php

2. Unzip the file.

3. Upload the entire folder to your hosting server via FTP.

4. Look through the Shoutbox folder and look for the sett.php file.

5. Right click on it and set the chmod permission to 666.

6. Chmod 644 the config.php file as well.

7. Open a web browser and open shout.php. You can do so using this format: http://yourwebsite.com/shout.php. Be sure to change yourwebsite.com to the actual URL of your site.

8. Follow the step by step installation progress.

9. Installation is complete.

10. Now put the following code to where you want shoutbox to appear on your html:

<iframe src=”shoutbox/code.php” width=200 height=300 border=1 solid></iframe>

When you open up your site, you should see the shout box there now.   A reminder: make sure your host PHP supported for this script to work.
