Lesson 1: HTML Tags

What is an <html> tag? Think of <html> tags as the bread in a web page sandwich. Every webpage begins and ends with an <html> tag. These tags tell the browser how to read the rest of the document and when to stop reading. Click sign up to create a free account that will track your progress.

In this lesson, we will use to represent the <html> tags. Each page will start and stop with the stoplight emoji.

Your task is to create a webpage by dragging two 's from the Emoji Box on the right into the text editor on the left. Once you have completed your task, click the blue "Run Code" button in the bottom left corner.

Sorry, that's not correct! Make sure that you have 2 's in the text editor. If you need a reminder about your task, click on the white triangle in the bottom left corner of the screen to bring up the tip again.

Congratulations! You've just programmed your first webpage. Click the X in the upper right corner to exit this screen, then click the purple "View Code" button in the bottom left corner of the screen.
