Welcome to ITarama
Welcome to the wonderful world of IT. For those of you who don't know what IT is, IT (EYE-TEE) is Information Technology. Why is it wonderful you ask? Because whether or not you are a geek, there is something in the field that will interest you. Anyway this site began as a basic HTML tutorial page for a class project. Then strangely, it took on a life of its own.
Now one of its primary uses is to help beginning students studying Web design.
What is a Web page? Every Web page on the World Wide Web (WWW) is a simple text file. I know, it's hard to believe isn't it? The page itself contains nothing but text and formatting code. That's it. No images or graphics or anything else. Huh?
Anything that is visual on a Web page is pulled from somewhere else. None of the graphics or photos are on the page. What the page contains are references to the locations of those images. The Web browser knows how to insert the images into their proper locations on the page.
HTML stands for Hyper-Text Mark-up Language. HTML uses tags to tell browsers how to format a web page.
The tags generally follow this format: <open tag>You put the thing you want to format here</close tag>. Yes, it is that easy. The hardest part is learning the tags.
The most basic Web page there is:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
