Basic rules: HTML is abbreviated English: tags are logical and have meaning. A Web page is a combination of pieces (text, picture, multimedia) kept together by HTML tags. Keep the pieces small – large file size results in slow browsing. No capital letters, spaces or other special characters in your file names. Keep all files in the same folder!!!
