HTML Code for Dummies

Some of us want to build our own websites but we don't know the first thing about creating the HTML code needed to build a nice site. If you want I guess you could spend some money (and time) to sign up for classes which teach HTML. That's fine if you know your site is going to generate good revenue. Otherwise, you just spent your hard earned cash and countless hours preparing for a venture which may not make you a dime. If we want to make income we probably don't need to be wasting too much time on these types of things.

I promise I didn't know the first thing about HTML code when I started my first website. Fortunately I had a friend who pointed me to a website where I could download FREE software which generated the code for me.

With this software you are able to type your content just like you are using a more "normal" setup. After you type your content you can click on the HTML tab and your code is generated. Now all you have to do is click on the code, click on Ctrl & A to highlight the code, right click and "copy" to copy the code, then paste the code on your site. When you save the newly added code your site will look just like you originally typed it on the generator.

This great HTML generator helps us "non-techies" get started in the growing website and blogging industry.

Intrigued? I would imagine so. If you don't believe me you need to try it yourself. Go to the following website and download the FREE software. The site is nvu (pronounced (in-view).

Here are some of the things you can do with nvu without knowing the
code necessary to make these changes in your text.

Can you read this. Here
are some of the things you can do with nvu. Not too bad for a novice.All of this text has been generated with nvu.

1. You can change the font size.
2. You can chance the font style.
   
3. You can bold,italic, or underline.


4. You can add Links


5. You can add tables, forms, etc.
6. You can add images.
   
   Not too bad for a novice. Also, this software will basically teach you a lot of the code just by reading the code generated by the software. After you download the software (it is an exe.file) you can open nvu and go to work.
   

First, on the bottom of the "screen" you'll find a few tabs. [Normal, HTML tags, Source, and Preview] Click on normal to create your content. You can use the buttons on the top to make changes such as bold, bullets, italics, insert images, change font size and style, etc.

When you're done click on the "Source" tab at the bottom of the screen. This will display your content in an HTML format. Click Ctrl & A to highlight all of the code, then copy the code and paste it on your website.

This is a great way to spruce up your website to give it a more professional site with nice graphics.

Not bad for free.

Of course you need a hosting server to host your site. I recommend iPower Web Hosting. They are affordable and they currently host over 700,000 websites. In other words...they know what they are doing.

Good luck and Happy Website Building!
