HTML!?! What's that!?

If you've gone clicking on links in the advertisement part of a forum, then you have had to seen a site with lack of HTML. Most of the time, they don't know HTML. That's what I'm here for. I'm going to write an HTML guide for those inexperienced webmasters out there.

The Basics

Bolding Text <b> Bold Text Here </b> This is the Result
Italicizing Text <i> Italic Text Here </i> This is the Result
Underlining Text <u> Underline Text Here </u> This is the Result
Striking Text <s> Strike Text Here </s> This is the Result

Things to Note

Bolded Text should only be used for emphasis on certain words and phrases. Italicizing Text is another good way for emphasis, and it works nice for sentences. I think if you want to emphasize a certain word, bolding is better, while italicizing is better for longer things. Bolding too much things might be like TYPING IN CAPS, so I'd suggest using bolding less, and italicizing more.

Links and Images

Making Links <a href="URL here"> Name of Link Here </a> This is the Result
Making Images <img src="URL of Image Here">

Things to Note

You will need a URL for the link, and you will have to include the http://www. part in the code. For images, you will need a URL of the image. You could find these URLs by uploading images at sites like Photobucket or TinyPic. Click here to learn more about image hosts.

Paragraphs and Line Breaks

Making Paragraphs <p>Content Here..................................</p><p>Content Here..................................</p>

This is the Result

This is the Result

Making Line Breaks Content Here.....................................<br>Content Here............................. Th-
-is is the Result

Things to Note

You don't need a line break between paragraphs, unless you want extra space. Line Breaks don't have end tags.

Aligning Things

Left Aligning <left> Left Aligned Text Here</left> This is the Result
Center Aligning <center> Center Aligned Text Here </center>
This is the Result
Right Aligning <P Align="Right"> Right Aligned Text Here<P Align="Right">

This is the Result

Things to Note

Remember that the right align code doesn't follow the pattern for left aligning and right aligning.

Other Codes

Making a Marquee <marquee> Scrolling Text Here </marquee> This is the Result
Hover Text <div title="Hover Text Here"> Hover over the word
Result
Text Areas <textarea> Text Area Here</textarea>

Things to Note

Please, please use scrolling text as little as possible, because I'm pretty sure people will get sick of them eventually.

Making a Basic Page

To make a basic page, use this code:
<

Things to Note

That is a basic page, as in, all you have to do is add a style section and a style sheet, as well as the navigation bars/banner, for it to function as a layout. Now you find that part on your own. ;)
