Weaving your Webpage


BASIC STRUCTURE OF YOUR WEB DOCUMENT

     The first and last tags in a document should always be the HTML tags. These are the tags that tell a Web browser where the HTML in your document begins and ends. The absolute most basic of all possible Web documents is:

<HTML>

</HTML>

Every HTML document begins and ends with these tags.

The Head tag:

     The HEAD tag contain all of the document's header information. This includes the document title and key words that allude to the documents content.

TITLE:

    This container is placed within the HEAD structure. Between the TITLE tags, you should have the title of your document. This will appear at the top of the browser's title bar.

     The title should reflect what the document is about. Though the length is unlimited, keep it reasonably short. Long titles annoy some people.

    If you don't type anything between the TITLE tags, or don't include the TITLE tags at all , many search engines (which we'll discuss later) will show "no title" when they find your page.

BODY

     Between the BODY tags, you find all of the content that gets displayed in the browser window. This includes text, images, sounds and whatever else you include in your webpage.

The basic structure for your webpage is this:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Document Title</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY> Webpage content (text, graphics etc.)

</BODY>

</HTML>
