Are you interested in building your own website? If so, learning the basics of HTML is the perfect place to start!

 HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the foundation of all websites and is essential for creating and designing web pages.

To get started with HTML, it's important to understand the basics of how it works. HTML uses tags to structure content on a web page. These tags tell the browser how to display the content, such as headings, paragraphs, images, and links.

One of the best ways to learn HTML is to practice building a simple web page. Create a basic HTML document with a title, header, and body.  

HTML is a markup language that uses a series of elements to wrap different parts of the content. These elements are written using angle brackets and are called tags. HTML tags make the content appear or act in a certain way. 

For example, the page title is a heading that uses the <h1> tag. The actual title, "Welcome to JASP Tech", is the content of our element, which goes between the opening and closing tags. The entire thing - the opening tag, closing tag, and the content - is called an element. 

To close a tag, you use the same tag as the opening tag but preceded by a slash.

For example, to create a heading, use the <h1> tag, like this:

<h1>Welcome to JASP Tech!</h1>

To create a paragraph, use the <p> tag, like this:

<p>My name is Jane, and I'm a web developer. I created this website to showcase my work and share my knowledge with others.</p>

You can also add images to your web page using the <img> tag. Just specify the source of the image and its alt text, like this:

<img src="myimage.jpg" alt="A beautiful landscape">

Once you've created your web page, you can view it in a browser to see how it looks. you just need to open this HTML file in the browser.

Learning HTML can seem daunting at first, but with practice and patience, you'll soon be able to create your own amazing websites. So why not get started today and unlock the power of web development with HTML?
