HTML
HTML, Hyper Text Markup Language, is important because it is the backbone of every webpage. HTML is a computer language that computer understand and generate websites which can be viewed to the public.
- HyperText is the method by which you move around on the web — by clicking on special text called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page. The fact that it is hyper just means it is not linear — i.e. you can go to any place on the Internet whenever you want by clicking on links — there is no set order to do things in.
- Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of text (italicised text, for example).
- HTML is a Language, as it has codewords and syntax like any other language.

Adding links
1. <a href=”http://www.URLgoeshere.com” target=”_blank”>Link goes here</a>
1. target=_blank indicates that the link will open in a new browser window; you may remove it if you’d like the link to open in the same window
Adding images
1. <img src=”http://imageURLgoeshere.com/image.jpg” border=”1px #000 solid” align=”right” />
1. border=”1px #000 solid” will put a black border around your image generated by each visitor’s web browser. The first value (1px) refers to the thickness; the second value (#000) refers to the color, which can be replaced with any web-based color name or RGB hex code; the third value (solid) refers to the pattern of the line, which can be replaced with dotted or dashed
2. align=”right” will manipulate the image to align with the text in a specified way; you may replace right with left, center, or justify
