HTML is platform independent, meaning no matter the type of computer you use you can create and view your website on any such as Windows, Mac, UNIX/Linux. All you need to do is make sure you save your document in a standard text format known as ASCII. Text Editor comes with most Window programs such as on Notepad, NoteTab, Arachnophilia or Pico. It is also possible to save it in a Word or WordPerfect format, but in cases such as these you need to make sure you save your files as ‘Text’ or ‘TextOnly’ or next time you view them the data will look like gibberish.From learning how to add colour, change your text size and include images from the web, once you have learnt the art of HTML codes, you will be able to show visitors exactly what you want to show them.

H1 give your paragraph a heading
P write the content/ text of your document. If you want to include a link in this section, all you need to do is: A HREF=www.nameoflink.com. The P tag also enables you to separate your paragraphs
