Omega Begins Hey this is my friend Jonathan's page. It dosen't have anything that pretains to HTML coding but it is about one of my favorite games Final Fantasy XI, it is based on his link shell for the game.

Hey my name is David, due to things that happen on the internet daily I will not submit my last name.


A few things that I like to do in my free time are:
Creating things such as webpages and even just personal ads will take a couple of days if you do not know the coding that you have to use for it. In this Page I will try to teach you all the coding skills you will need to start your own WebPage.

To start off you will need the basic tool for creating, that will be your notepad. After you open notepad you will need to refer here to learn your starting tags. Now I only know some of the coding that you will need but this webpage will be updated everytime I learn something new. Due to computer diffuculties whenever I tell you a tag they must have these around them <> if not then your tag wont work. Things that are in all caps will need to be put in the symbols I showed you because they are your tags.


The first tag you will need to start off will be HTML this tells your computer that this needs to be translated into HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language, which is your basic Internet language. This seems pretty simple but it's a lot harder than it looks. Another way to learn HTML language is to go when your on the internet to your favorite site, click view, and then click source. This will bring up a notepad with every tag that is put on that website. Now this website is not copyrighted so if you want you may take this and make changes to it. All I ask is that since I am letting you use this source please do not copy it exactly.

The next tag you will need is the tag that tells your internet that whatever you put after these tags will be put in the blue status bar. HEAD TITLE /TITLE /HEAD You end it just the way you end the others and that is with these tags.

Another tag you might want to use to spice up your page would be the background tag. BODY BACKGROUND="...." where the .... is, is where you need to put the exact URL address for it to show up. When you end your body the background tag will end automatically also.

Another tag you can use that will spice up your webpage will be the sound tag. The next tag you need is the BODY tag. This tag takes everything that you want to be written on the webpage show up on the page. EMBED src="...." width=x height=x autoplay=x hidden=x loop=x volume=x /EMBED. Just like the .... on the background tag you must have the exact URL of the music you want before it can work. Where the X's are you need to change. Width, and Height will need to change only if you do not want it hidden. For autoplay if you want to play automatically whenever your page is loaded than change it to true. If you do not want the play, stop, rewind, or fastforward buttons on your page then change the hidden to true. If you want the music to loop as long as your page is loaded than change loop to true. However high you want the volume; it needs to be changed between 1 and 100.

The font tag. This tag is to be used whenever you want to change your font type for your webpage. If you notice that my font is different because a computer normally sets the type face to Times New Romans. My font face is changed to Papyrus for added texture.

The font color tag. This tag takes your font color which is usually set by deafault to black and lets you change it to whatever you want it to be changed to. My text font is changed to white right now due to the effects of my background.

Now is when you would start your paragraph tags. A paragraph tag is used for whenever you are going to type long sentences. Sometimes this tag does not to be used but it is usually a good thing to get used to typing it whenever you want to start a sentence. The tag looks like this P. This tag is also used for a double space in your page.

Our next tag is going to be the horizontal rule tag. This tag looks like this HR; this tag inserts a line across the page that seperates text. There are different ways you can use this tag. It can have different colors, or it can be not shaded. Mine are used as colors so you can tell that I have spaces between the text.

The break tag. This tag looks like this BR. This tag is used to add a one line space between the text. It can be used to seperate pictures or even text.

Now for some basic tags. There are tags that let you align, bold, italicize, and underline; if you know how to use them. An easy way to align something is with this tag ALIGN="...." where the dots are is where you have to put in your right, center, or left alignment. With the bold tag you can make things darker just like on a Microsoft Word program. The tag for this one is B. The same goes for italicize and underline. The tag for italicize is I, and the tag for underline is U.

Another useful tag is the ordered and unordered list. With this tag you can make lists that you can put useful information on. The tag for an ordered list is OL, it is required in any list that whenever you want to put an item in the list you must go after the OL and type LI type in what you want and then close it with /LI. The other tag is almost the same except you use UL. This tag can give you bullets while the OL tag can give you numbers and roman numerals. To insert numbers or roman numerals go before the > in the OL tag and type in TYPE="....". Where the dots are is where you are supposed to put your 1 for numbers or your I for roman numerals.
