HTML is the most basic programming language of the internet. It’s the programming language that many computer nerds use to create websites and pages just like this exact page you are reading on your computer.

The Internet Browser works as a converter and changes HTML code into graphics and text. If you ever want to see the HTML code of a page just simply go to View > Page Source if you are using Mozilla Firefox.

What is HTML?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is a very simple programming language and is pretty much common sense. The tags are self explanatory compared to any other programming language. This means Learning HTML is only the beginning and there is much more to come if you plan on being real good at creating websites. It does get way more advanced when creating a website for many users such as facebook, ebay, myspace, etc.

How long does it take to learn HTML?

Like I’ve already mentioned HTML is very easy to learn almost self explantory. I would say that it will take about One Day to understand HTML. Play with it for One Week and you should be good with HTML by then. It’s very simple to understand and write.

Where can I learn HTML?

There are many places to learn HTML, I would highly suggest going to google and searching their for the best places. I have not written my own HTML guide but I will shortly. It will be a beginner’s know nothing guide to HTML guru status. I will tell you the history and when it started and what it is now, etc. It’s really not that difficult and one of the easiest parts of the internet. Checkout the google link below to read more since I don’t have my guide up just yet.

CSS is the second most important internet programming language on the internet. It works only in conjunction with HTML. It’s a secondary .css page that is included within an HTML page. So your probably wondering what CSS is already.

CSS was created to work with HTML pages to create great looking websites and nice effects with using less HTML code so file page size could be smaller. CSS can control the text font, color, size, border, width, etc. It can also add great things like backgrounds, margins, padding and much more for a website. With CSS, you save time by writing less HTML Code in your HTML page.

What is CSS?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets it’s a great tool to save work and time when creating HTML pages. CSS is a lot more fun and exciting than writing HTML. Think of HTML as making stick figure character and CSS is making it a 3D character. To understand CSS, it’s recommended you learn HTML first then learn CSS. CSS will take longer to learn than learning HTML. It’s a little more complex because it has a lot more effects.

How long does it take to learn CSS?

I believe, CSS will take about 2-3 days to fully understand working about 4-6+ hours a day. The more time you spend the better you will get just as in anything else in life.

It’s a little more complex then HTML and I highly recommend you learn CSS. You really can’t get too far in the internet world without learning CSS. CSS is now standard in website design and creation.

How can I learn CSS?

There are many websites that you can study and learn CSS on. Like most of what I say, Search google for “learn css” or “css tutorials” these are all great articles because this is what the internet community says is best. There’s really no point in re-writing an article that’s already been said on many websites.

How I learned CSS?

I learned CSS by first reading on learn CSS and CSS tutorials on Google searches. I’ll simply just open up each one in a new tab and just read everything for like 3-4 hours and just absorb all the information I can. Somehow figure out the gist of everything they’re talking about and figure out a pattern that I can understand it on. The great thing is that you always have Google to help you, so you don’t need to remember the exact code or technique because when you need to use it. You can just search Google and find out the answer or code you need.

Once I understand the basics of CSS. I started by creating my own web design template in Photoshop and I learned how to slice my .PSD web design template into different images and created a CSS file with a template.html file. Google Search, Slice PSD to CSS or psd to css tutorial.

Many people are interested in learning how to make a website on the internet. They browse many websites but never know exactly how people create these websites.

This guide is for anyone that doesn’t know exactly how to create a website. I’ll talk about the beginning steps on how to get a website with your own .com domain name on the internet.

1. Buy A Domain Name

I recommend NameCheap for your domain name registrations. You can get your domain names pointed to your web host as soon as you buy them compared to godaddy.com or 1and1.com, you have to wait 24-48 hours for your DNS name servers to switch over.

2. Change DNS Name Servers

You simply login to your domain registrar and click on your domain to edit the DNS name servers. You can’t change your DNS name servers until you choose a Web Host.

3. Choose a Web Host

I’d recommend my own web hosting company Simplistic Host. If you want to go with a corporate hosting company, I’d recommend HostGator.com and BlueHost.com.

4. Creating Your Website

I would highly recommended using WordPress for yourfirst website as it’s one of the most simplest ways to create a website. You can simply install WordPress using Fantastico.

5. Getting Your Website Noticed

Promoting your website is by far the hardest part of having a popular website. You will be spending most of your time working on this section.

I hope these tips helped you. I’ll have step-by-step guides for every section in the future. I refrain from listing everything here because it will make this post too long.

I was validating my blog while working on it and it comes up with some weird errors like:

end tag for “img” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

…eft" alt="Make Money Online Blog"></a></div>

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close” an element, that is, ending it with “/>” instead of “>”.

I was lost on how to fix this but while searching the internet. If it doesn’t have an end tag. You must end the tag yourself.

How would I do that?

You may be wondering, it’s simple.

ORIGINAL

<img src=”http://www.makemoneyonline-guide.com/wp-content/themes/makemoneyv1/images/makemoneyonline-logo.png” align=”left” alt=”Make Money Online Blog”>

CORRECT VALIDATED IMG tag

<img src=”http://www.makemoneyonline-guide.com/wp-content/themes/makemoneyv1/images/makemoneyonline-logo.png” align=”left” alt=”Make Money Online Blog” />

A simple / (slash) at the end of the tag will close the tag.
