HTML for Student
What is an HTML Blog?
An HTML blog is a simple website made using HTML (HyperText Markup Language). It displays written posts, images, and links in a structured way so that readers can easily read and navigate your content.
Main Parts of an HTML Blog (Explained)
1. HTML Structure
Every HTML page follows a basic structure. Think of it like the skeleton of your blog. It includes:
<html>: The root element that wraps the whole page.<head>: Contains the title of the blog, links to styles, and other behind-the-scenes information.<body>: The main visible part of the blog — this is where your content (like posts, headers, and footers) goes.
2. Header Section
This is the top part of your blog. It usually contains:
- The blog title or name
- A short welcome message or slogan
This is done using heading tags like <h1> and paragraph tags like <p>.
3. Navigation Bar
A blog should be easy to explore. A navigation bar includes links to important pages like:
- Home
- About Me
- Contact
These links help visitors find what they’re looking for.
4. Main Blog Content
This is where your actual blog posts live. Each post usually contains:
- A title (like “My First Blog Post”)
- A date
- A paragraph or two of content
Posts are displayed one after another, usually from newest to oldest.
5. Footer
The footer is the bottom section of your blog. It usually includes:
- Copyright information
- Social media links
- A short note or contact detail
What About Styling?
While HTML builds the structure, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to make it look nice.
- CSS controls the colors, fonts, spacing, and layout of your blog.
- Beginners often start with internal CSS (written inside the HTML file).
