HTML Intro
This is a tutorial i have made long ago, and I have posted on other forums.
Firstly as of all of my Introductions, I would like to start off with a Q&A.

- What is HTML
HTML is the language/coding used to create Webpages on the Internet.
-Do I have to buy a lot of high priced programs?
No, the simplest program, you can use is Windows, Notepad.
- How do I make my site , "look good"?
Easy, just create a stylesheet, using CSS.

Now on to the Tutoral...
Starting off. . . .
HTML, can be very easy, and enjoyable. It is one of the most basic, coding, in the technology world. Your script should be started off with this code.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>

How to put a title
The title, incase you don't know is clearly shown on the image below

This tutorial is very bad, because it defecates code on the reader without teaching anything. And some of the code, like the image example, is wrong. Somebody who reads this tutorial would end up pushing buttons without knowing what he was doing.

Also, the way there are, too many, commas, making it sound, as if it were, written, by Captain Kirk.

Maybe that sounded a bit harsh. I don't mean to be inflammatory or offensive.

Yes, Rashakil Fol is right your tutorial is bad, if I do not know HTML this wouldn't help my at all.
However you can improve it, try to see other online tutorials how they are done. Good example is www.w3schoools.com.

Good luck to you!
