Hello, I have a content site that I am trying to make. I am very new to website making. I have a html file at my webhost and I was following instructions from an e-book that says to "put all the articles into html." Well, I copied and pasted from word into the html file on the hosting site but now I have one single paragraph of about 350+ words. There are no paragraph breaks or anything. What do I need to know about html programming or html software? I want to keep things as simple and low cost as possible. I am not adding anything other than text and a few links. Chad
You can learn at http://w3schools.com To make line breaks, just insert <br /> wherever you want to put it.
The best spot to learn HTML formatting is from www.w3school.com, as it will answer all the basic HTML questions and give you simple examples to follow. Also, use Google, as it is the repository for all human knowledge and can tell you everything you might want to know. Next, and I REALLY DO NOT recommend this, you can export HTML from Word and upload that to your server. The HTML output from Word is horrible though and I really can't suggest you use it.
I agree that Word's "flavor" of HTML is UGLY, but for someone that is just getting started it *might* be a good way to at least get going with HTML without the huge learning curve...
