If you’ve spent more than a few minutes on the internet, you have most likely seen the term HTML. HTML stand for HyperText Markup Language, it is a simple programming language that is used to make web pages. If you keep an eye on the location bar (the area on your browser where you type the www), you’ll sometimes see that at the end of the address you type in it will display “index.html” or something similar. Your browser (Firefox, internet explorer, opera, etc.) reads the HTML file associated with the web page and translates it into a visual representation of images, text and links.

One way to actually see the HTML of a web page is to right-click anywhere within the browser window and select “view page source”. A small window will appear with all the HTML code in it. You will see all sorts of colored bits of text, which is the HTML that your web browser will decode and translate into the page you are looking at.

For those of you who would like to try your hand at learning a little HTML, you can visit: W3 schools. If you want to go more in depth you can go read Wikipedia’s HTML entry.  I hope you enjoyed this post and look forward to any comments you might have.
