The Best Web Hosting List

If you’re anything like we were when we first starting building websites back in 1998 or so, the letters “HTML” scare you terribly. It’s one of the first things people think of when purchasing a website: “But…what if I don’t know HTML?” You wonder not only if HTML will be hard to learn but if you have the time and patience to work with it to design your website.

Well, the absolute truth is, these days HTML is not as important as it used to be, so don’t let it scare you. The best web hosting providers will offer you tools that will help you around HTML, but if you’re still sure you want to learn it, here’s a quick tutorial for two of the most basic and important HTML tags you’ll need to know to build your website.

LINKS

To link text, follow this easy method. Type:

< A HREF = “http://www.YourLink.com” >

Replace “YourLink” with the website you’re actually linking to. Then type:

Your Website Link Text < / a >

“Your Website Link Text” stands for whatever you want the link text to be. For example, if I wanted to link our website, http://www.thebestwebhostinglist.com, to the phrase “web hosting”, I would type the following:

< A HREF = “http://www.thebestwebhostinglist.com” > web hosting < / a>

Just be sure you remove ALL spaces before you’re done. Then it’ll show up like this:

IMAGES

First, find the image you want to use, and make sure it is uploaded to your website. If you’re not sure how to upload, your web hosting provider should be able to help you out! Copy the URL that you can use to view that image online and keep that URL handy. Then, type:

< IMG SRC = “http://www.YourImageURL.com” > < / a >

Replace “YourImageURL” with your image’s URL and then delete ALL spaces. Then your image will show up instantly!
