Learn HTML Easily - Part 1

A two minute history:
    Roughly speaking, some large research computers (in Switzerland) were created to read a group of various documents - some mathematical, some text, some graphical etc., and one document mode created was HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language, in English) which allowed the display of text and graphics on the same page, as well as a system of moving from one reference point to another, and then back.
    Here is an example of the moving feature: This page is (in this example) the First Page.
    Step 1: Click the underlined words see a different page in this sentence.

    Yes, you're back at the First Page, again.

To continue:
    This system was quickly snapped-up by various companies, eg. Netscape, and 'HTML Browsers' were created, as the system was ideal for the Home/Business market. The files were then given the file extension .HTML (early PC/MAC home computers could only read and write a 3-letter extension [.HTM], so 'Browsers' were all created to use either reference).

Finally:
    The original super-computers that used HTML (and other file formats) needed a 'header line' (as they didn't have file extensions) in order to recognise which were HTML documents, etc.. Some people still include this at the top of the code-page (but most people don't, as nowadays it's used for advanced stuff), so written below is the (not needed by us) 'header line', so that if you look at the top of a code-page, and see something similar to the line below (written here in colour), you don't think, "What on earth does that mean?". Just ignore it!
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.0//EN">

Now, to start with some actual coding, let's start at the top of a new page
