Tags, elements and your first page

Learn how opening and closing tags wrap content, then build a page of your own.

Published

In this lesson

Tags are the labels that tell the browser what each piece of content is: a heading, a paragraph, a link. Once you can read them, you can read any web page.

By the end of this lesson you will have a small “About me” page that you wrote yourself.

Try it yourself

Copy this, run it, then change one thing and run it again. That is how it sticks.
