Now, I know that you probably know how to read, so I am not just going to read the Blog post out loud. That would be boring, and a waste of your time. I am, however, going to go over it a little bit. If you look on this Blog, you see HTML a lot, right? But what does HTML actually stand for? HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. So what is Hyper Text Markup Language? HyperText is basically how the Internet is linked together. For example, if you were to click on one of the links on this page, it would take you somewhere else. That link that you clicked on is the HyperText. Markup Language is how HTML works. You are literally marking up text in a way so that Web browsers can read and present it. So where is HTML? HTML is everywhere on every web page that you will see. Well, for now anyway. XML, which stands for Extensible Markup Language, is competing with HTML to be the default Web language and will probably some day take the place of HTML. But we will get into XML later. As I was saying, there is HTML on every web page right now. If you would like an example, follow these steps. Internet Explorer users: Go to the View menu Select Source A Notepad (or whatever your default text editor is) file will come up, and it will have a whole long string of HTML Firefox Users: Go to the View Menu Select Page Source A Firefox page will come up that also has the code As you look at the source code for this web page (or any other one), you will see that it can be kind of overwhelming. But it you look closely, you will see that some of the same things start to repeat themselves a lot. I will get more into that on a later post.
