Html code has two tags, the opening tag and the closing tags. The content goes in between these two tags.


The heading tags help display the heading. Different sizes can be obtained by using different tags like
<h1> text goes here </h1>
<h2> text goes here</h2>
<h3> text goes here </h3>


Another important feature of Html that can be used in blogging is adding hyperlinks to the text. This can be done by using the following code.
<a href =”link goes here”> text goes here </a>


Images definitely attract more viewers to a blog. In order to include images into your blog you can use the following code.
<img src=”link of image goes here” alt=”text goes here” width=”30” height=”50”>


If you need to include bullet points, here is the code that will help you with it.
<ul>
<li>list 1 </li>
<li>list 2 </li>
</ul>

  1. Your blog post about HTML tags was very insightful. It serves as a really food introductionary basis for the building blocks of a website based in HTML. I thought it was concise and informative, you covered the fundementals of how elements appear (as tags) with well-thoughtout layman terms. What could do as well is add contextual pictures or examples of those taglines in action so people can have an illustration of what is going on. Otherwise, good post!
