In this week's lab you are going to work through an on-line tutorial that will show you how to create a web page using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language).
There are lots of HTML tutorials on the web. The one you will use for this lab is from PageTutor.com. This tutorial is divided into a series of lessions. You should go through lessons 1 - 13 and 19 - 22 (you can skip lessons 14 - 18).
Before you start, a few things to note.
1. The web pages that make up the tutorial contain enough advertisements that finding the link to go to the next lesson is not always easy. Look for a large blue NEXT link near the bottom of each page.
2. Each lesson has you start with a brand new web page. However, at the end of the lab, you are going to need to show the HTML page you create to me, so do NOT start over with a new HTML page with each lesson. In other words, for each page in the tutorial, just keep adding the new HTML examples to your existing page. The web page you show me when you complete the lessons should contain examples from all of the lessons.
3. The web page you produce will not be pretty. It will contain a bunch of HTML examples that will not be organized into a coherent page. That is okay; the purpose of the lab is to show you how to use the HTML tags, not how to design a pretty web page.
4. You will need to use two programs for this lab. The first program is a text editor. This is where you will type in the sample HTML from the tutorial pages. The tutorial assumes you will be using Notepad, so just go ahead and use that. The second program is this web browser, which you will use to view the tutorial pages and the sample page you create. Make sure and open a new browser window to display the sample page, as is discussed in the tutorial.

6. This is the last lab that we will have, all the best for your finals :) .
