Hi, was just wondering if anyone can help me with some basic html. Right now I'm looking for how to add my email address. I remember vaguely it's something to do with replacing the http with something, though I've been offline for a whil there is a whole lot of code I bcan't remember anymore. Also does anyone know what is the easiest site online to look up basic html coding? Thanks for your help in advance.

If you want to learn html you can go to www.w3schools.com its a good site but if you want to learn more than client side coding the I prefer you to learn php or asp.net along with html which are quite necessary for server side processing this will enhance your skills since php or asp.net are quite efficient tools to create a dynamic websites where as HTML only allow you to create static website with no interactivity...

Indeed here you can find all that you need to know about html http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
I'll make a simple example with the basics if you don't have time to go through all the site right now...just for reminding the basic things...
I'm not allowed to post html tags so I had to improvise this notation.
|head|
|title|My Page Title|/title|
|/head|
|body|
|h1|The Biggest Header|/h1|
|h2|Subtitle|/h2|
|div|
|p|You write some text in this paragraph of the div|/p|
|table border="1"|
|tr|
|td|The tr tag creates a new row and the td tag creates a new column|/td|
|td|So this table has 2 columns|/td|
|/tr|
|tr|
|td colspan="2"|Using colspan I'll have only one cell instead of 2|/td|
|/tr|
|/table|
|h2|Subtitle 2|/h2|
|h3|Sub Subtitle|/h3|
|h4||/h4|
|h5||/h5|
|h6|This is the smallest one|/h6|
|div|
|p||b|This text is bold|/b||/p|
|p||i|This one is in italic|/i||/p|
|p||u|You'll see this underlined|/u||/p|
|/div|
|/body|
I think this is a quick reminder of HTML elements.
I also strongly recommend you study CSS. It will help a lot in web design. You can do more things that you can do only with HTML and it's easier to make changes.
