We have already covered some basic HTML tags you will use when writing your web page code. Here are a few more that you might find come in handy, when designing your own web page.
Basic HTML Formatting Help
When it comes to formatting a web page using HTML code, you can think of it (kind of) in the same way you would look at formatting a document formatted by a word processor. You have your headlines to show you where one section starts and stops. You have your paragraphs to break up blocks of text, and you have line breaks to show where there should be a new line started. Now I am going to show you how to get some of these things done using HTML.
Modify the HTML Body Tag
There are several HTML tags that can act as modifiers to how the web page looks visually.
First, let us re-visit the body tags. The body tags are there to tell the browser what part of the document is going to be visible to the end user when viewing the web page. This is marked up in your HTML code by putting a <body> where your web page’s content begins and a </body> tags where it ends.
How to Create the Best Website Navigation
The navigation section of your web site is one of the most important factors to a web site.
Why? The navigation is what allows you to move from one section of the web site to the next, linking web pages to web pages, and in all making a web site work. Here I hope to explain why web site navigation is important, along with a few other key factors you should remember when creating your web site.
Basic Parts of a Website Layout
When it comes to very basic website design, every website layout has four basic elements that you should learn. These are the HTML tags, the head tags, the title tags and the body tags. Each one plays an important part in presenting your website data to the public.
HTML Basics
Hyper Text Markup Language, or as you know it HTML, is the markup language for most web pages on the Internet.
Now, it is not exactly a language like English or Spanish, which we communicate with verbally. A markup language is a system for editing text in a way that changes how the text looks or how you interact with it. Where you use funny looking code to make one section of text look different than the other, the code in question is not seen by the end user. The server the web page is coming from, and the user’s browser come together to help mesh it together as something that is seen as visually appealing to the end user.
Will Dedicated Hosting Die?
If you look across the board at some of the biggest and brightest web hosting companies out there, you will see the trend is the same. A lot of companies out there are looking to get rid of the dedicated servers and start offering alternatives like virtual server hosting.

Google Analytics Gets a Facelift
I don’t know many webmasters these days that don’t use Google Analytics in one way or another. It is simply one of the best third party website statistic tools out there. Here recently, it also got a ‘bit of a facelift as far as how the content is organized. Everything is much more focused on getting you the information you need, faster.
