Again before we start I am sorry about the image. I'm still a little new to Photoshop. I'm sorry about the spoilers. Apparently you can't put <> tags. So I'll substitute them for {}

HTML, or more common known to the website design world as Hyper Text Markup Language. To all those foreign to the subject HTML is for creating websites. Cyprezz used HTML when creating Planet Minecraft. Mark Zuckerburg used HTML when creating Facebook. HTML is all around you, but you just don't know. ever since I found out about HTML it has changed my life, and I am here to change yours. Now before you start adding in the code make sure you make a folder named 'My Site' or something along those lines on the desktop.



The most basic tags you will ever use are the simple ones. They are the tags that define the regions of the site. Treat tags like a family tree. Say you are making a site. The first thing you are going to do is the {html} tag. {html} is like the great-great grandfather that moved from Whateverstan to Canada or America.
Something you must remember is that you have to close every tags (with some exceptions that I am going to address later). Before you start freaking out: "How do I close a tag TELL ME NOW!!!" I am going to tell you. It's as simple as putting a slash in front of whatever you say. So all you have to do is type {/tag}.
Now for the next important tags. These are like the sons of {html}. The Head and body tag. The head will contain all of the useless information, like the title and the favicon (which you will learn about in Part 3: Pictures). So let's add that into the code.
So now that you have your head tag we need to put stuff in it. For now I'll start with something easier, the title. The title is what describes what you are looking at on the screen at the moment. If you upload stuff at all you will see the title says Editing. How do you add that you ask? Simple. Like we did with you have to put in between the opening and closing . If you don't put it in between nothing will change, but it will help in the long run.
Now you have to put something in between the two title tags. What you put in between is what you want as your site title. For the sake of the tutorial I am just putting it as My First Site.
Now it's time to add the body tag. The body is what your main site is going to behold. On Planet Minecraft is shows all the submissions in the body. With CSS you can style it to make it look nice, but that's another tutorial.

That's it for the basic tags which also means end of part 1. If you want to keep up to date on this tutorial then subscribe to me and I will show up in your sub box. Also I will be keeping track of everything we add.
