My 3rd IS Lesson: HTML

Hello, everybody! This week, I learnt about HTML. It stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is sort of like a language the computer understands and then translates into a language we can understand more easily. For example, let's pretend that a computer can translate Bishou(HTML) , which is the world's least used language, into your native language(webpage).
However, computer programmers or website designers need to know HTML or else they will not know what to do. To create a webpage using HTML is actually quite easy. All you need to do is to use a Notebook, type html at the begining with <>,/html at the end, also with the <>, and anything in between them will be shown in your webpage after you save it as .html or .htm and publish it. It's the designing that's difficult. You can't type in bold or italic in Notebook.
My teacher recomanded two websites for us to take a look at so if you are interested in HTML, you might want to visit them. They are www.w3schools.com and www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide. There is also a video on Youtube that is titled "Learn HTML in 10 minutes" which I found useful. There is a Youtube Search at the bottem of my blog so you do not need to leave the page.
