Thank you for visiting WebMasterKnowHow.com - If you can suggest things that should be added to the site I would like to hear about them. Anything regarding hosting, HTML, attracting traffic, problems and mistakes. I intend to make this site as useful as I can, and with that in mind I'm trying to add at least one new topic every week.

What NOT to do

The basic page

The following shows all the tags and information needed for the minimum HTML page. In reality, you could skip many of them, and your page would display correctly on most browsers, but doing it correctly assures you that you have the best chance of showing your visitor what you intended to show.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="here you put your keywords for search engines. Separate them with commas, use all forms of the words.">
<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="here you put the information you want search engines to tell about your page">
<TITLE>
here you put the name you want to show at the top of the browser window, that will also be used when the page is bookmarked.
</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
here you put all the stuff you want to be visible on your page.

</BODY>
</HTML>


If you put all of the above in a file, saved as "text only" and name the file something.html (you get to decide what the "something" is) that's all there is to it. Any browser will know how to read your page.

See my detailed instructions to make it look just the way you want it to look.
