Writing HTML was created to help teachers create learning resources that access information on the Internet. Therefore, the exercises here involve writing a lesson called Volcanoes!

However, this tutorial may be used by anyone who wants to create World Wide Web pages. By the time you have reached the end of this tutorial you will be able to:

A few notes before you start...

  1. Read the Introduction. Really! It contains useful information. Really!
  2. Peek at a sample of the web page that you will create in this tutorial.
  3. It will help to use the Hotlist or Bookmark feature of your web browser to mark this page since it is the index to all of the lessons.
  4. We've tried to write instructions generic to any web browser, but with so many different ones available, sometimes the menu names or features may not match the browser you are currently using.
  5. This tutorial will show you how to create web pages that can see outward to the world. It will not tell you how to let the world see them; to do this you need to locate an Internet Service Provider that offers to provide web server space. The web pages you design here then need only be transferred to the server for the wide world to see.

And once you are done...

If your web pages become available on the World Wide Web, you can list them on our Writing HTML Alumni page using our registration form.
Select a lesson from the list below. We suggest that you proceed in order since each lesson builds upon examples from the previous one. However, from each lesson you can download the working file you would have created up to that point.

Writing HTML: the Lessons

Consider writing web pages like building a house. You first design it on paper, thinking how the house will be used. The first construction phase is preparing a solid foundation and structural support. You can add the finishing touches later... and there will always be some sort of maintenance work to do down the road.
