asic Html
Overview,
HTML means hyper text markup language,
HTML is used to format and edit webpages
HTML is written using "tags" "<" and ">"
HTML is easy to understand!
So, what does that look like? a bunch of jibberish?
copy this into notepad and save it to your desktop as pimpjuice.html
click on it.
Suprised?
Its a verrrrrry basic webpage,
Lets break it down though
ok this ^ is your line where you declare the type of HTML you are using note the "!DOCTYPE"
-this should be thte first line of your html
-you are not expected to memorise this, honestly you can just copy it from here.
theese^ are html tags, they announce when you start using (<html> ) and stop using ( </html> )
-the start html tag ( <html> ) should be the second line
-the end html tag ( </html> ) should be the Last line
^theese tags are used to seperate the doccument into two different sections
<head> and <body>
-in the head you should have the <title> </title> tags
-this is the top section (think of head like a peak)
- <body> </body> is the bottom section
theese tags declare the body of the webpage
-they work in tangent with the <head><head/> tags to sepearte webpages into two parts
^theese^ are title tags, they state when the title of the doccument starts and ends
-the title can be encompased in <hx> </hx> tags
- the title should be the first real text in your doccument
theese are heading tags they make the text for titles
-the heading tags go from biggest <h1> to smallest <h6>
-the <h1> tags should' only be used once
-the tags should' be used in sucession h1-h6
theese tags are italics
-em stands for emphasis
-theese tags are started first and ended last
eg. "<em>then<h1>emgoesfirst</h1>then</em>"
this code means page break.
-there are no closing tags for the <br /> tag
-the <br /> tag closes it's self with "/>"
theese are the easiest to understand tags, paragraph tags
-the text between the tags becomes a paragraph seperate from the other lines
-as spacing does not exist in a HTML doccument you have to use theese tags, you can't just leave a line open.
After breaking down that very basic HTML webpage you will probably realise that HTML restricts your creative flow alot.
You are correct, there is a more complicated split off of the HTML language called PHP (Hyper text Preprocessor)
PHP is used to create more dynamic webpages, www.sythe.org and www.facebook.com are some examples of sites made in PHP
HTML takes some devotion to learn but once you master it you can create some very professionl webpages with it.
ofcourse you could always just use Dreamweaver to make your webpages, but dreamweaver has a bad habit of throwing in
some random lines of code that are unnessecary. For best results I reccomend taking the time to learn the coding yourself.

100 words about why I shoud be a user educator.
Originally user edducation seemed like just another rank on sythe. That was before I realised
how it seperated the more intelligent users from the thicker ones, that left me with a challenge. A chalenge
to prove to the rest of sythe that I was smart enough to join that group of intelligent users, Not only smart enough
but motivated enough so that I could help others reach their goals. User edducation is not just a rank it is a challenge,
and like all challenges it deserves a worthy goal, that goal is helping others suceed at what they lack.
I am motivated, I am Intelligent, I Deserve User edducation.

<h1>Pimp Juice </h1>
<p>Pimp Juice, currently only available in the Extra Strength formula,<br />
it is a healthy, non-carbonated energy drink possessing a tropical berry flavor.</p><br />
<p>Pimp Juice’s artificial coloring gives it a smooth neon green glow, while its <em>10 %</em><br />
apple juice content adds a natural sweetness to its taste.<br />
Providing <em>100%</em> of the body’s needed vitamin <em>C, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12</em>,<br />
Pimp Juice works to increase the drinker’s energy supply, which in turn enhances mental awareness,<br />
stimulates the metabolism, and battles bodily sickness. In addition, <br />
an <em>8.4 oz</em> serving of pimp juice contains <em>7mg</em> of Taurine<br />
a conditionally essential amino acid that aids the body in its absorption<br />
of nutrients needed for optimal mental and physical performance.<br />
Pimp Juice acquires its boost from Caffeine, 81 mg per 8 ounce serving, <br />
and Guarana, an all-natural tropical ingredient. When roasted,<br />
Guarana seeds produce stimulating effects similar to caffeine.<br />
Pimp Juice also includes <em>250 mg</em> of D-Ribose and approximately <em>130 calories</em> per serving.</p><br />
