Hey guys Im learning HTML (HYPER TEXT MARKUP LANGANGUE), and while im learning I'm going to post my understandings here in the hope others can understand as well.

What does HTML stand for? Hyper Text Markup Langangue.

When the first website was made, there were little understandings on HTML or standers, a group called World Wide Web Consortium formed to start making new standers of HTML. (Kind of useless information, but you have to give credit to them for making coding HTML what it is today.)

What we need to understand is a few words such as Tag and Elements.

What are Tags?
An example of a Tag is:
<Tag>
What does is a Tag used for?
Tags are used to "mark-up" peices of text.

What are Elements?
An example of Element is:
<Tag> Something here </Tag>
(In a "nutshell" so to speak, "<Tag>", and "</Tag>" together are your element.)

Now, "<Tag>" is your opening Tag and "</Tag> is your closing Tag.
The only thing that makes them different is the "/" as you can notice above.
Without the "/" means its the begining of a new element, and with "/" means the element is now closed and will preform the task it's coded to do.

Easy so far? =)

So far was decent, basic explanation so I am assuming you're going to get a bit more technical as it progresses? Also I'd recommend taking advantage of the BB codes and making sure it looks much nicer.
