Hi. I'm Dorian Winterfeld on behalf of Expert Village. I've been doing web programming for about ten years. And, today we are going to cover the basics of HTML. Okay. We have our HTML document started in Windows Notepad. We have the opening and the closing HTML tags. Now, there are a couple of other tags that are required for an HTML document which, again, is a web page. The first one that's required is called the Head. And remember, every time you have an opening tag, you have to have a closing tag. So, we're going to open the Head, and we're going to close it. I'm going to put a lot of space in here, so that it's obvious what we're reading. Line breaking spaces are ignored in HTML. They are not required. I'm just going to put them in there so it's easier to read. So, we have the head, it's a required tag. The other required tag is called the Body tag. The opening, open body. Close body.
