🌟 Welcome to the Cutecore Coding Club! 🍥
˚ ༘♡ ⋆。˚ Hey there, sweet developer! HTML is the magical language that builds all the cute websites you see. It's the skeleton of the internet! Don't be scared—it's just like arranging adorable building blocks. (^o^)/
🌸 Chapter 1: The Code's Cozy Home (Basic Structure)
Every HTML document needs a cozy home with a specific structure. Think of it as a super cute bento box!
📝 The Essential Bento Box:
This is the non-negotiable part. Copy this always!
✨ Cute Fact: The
<head>
is like a secret treasure chest—full of info, but you can't see the contents until you open the whole chest (the page!).
🦄 Chapter 2: The Best Tags (Your Sticker Collection!)
HTML uses tags to label and format content. Most tags are like a cute pair of socks: they have an opening (<tag>
) and a closing (</tag>
).
🍰 The Sweetest Tags to Start With:
Tag (Sticker) | What it Does | Example Code | Result on Screen |
---|---|---|---|
<h1> to <h6> |
Headings. h1 is the biggest and most important title! |
<h1>My Page Title</h1> |
Big, bold text. |
<p> |
Paragraph. Used for regular blocks of text. | <p>Fluffy clouds are the best.</p> |
A simple line of text. |
<a> |
Anchor/Link. Creates a clickable link! | <a href="link-url.com">Click for a surprise!</a> |
A blue, underlined link. |
<img> |
Image. The only tag that does not need a closing tag! | <img src="pic.jpg" alt="A pink bunny"> |
Displays an image. |
<ul> & <li> |
Unordered List. Creates a list with cute bullet points. | <ul><li>Milk</li><li>Cookies</li></ul> |
A list with dots. |
<ol> & <li> |
Ordered List. Creates a list with numbers. | <ol><li>Step 1</li><li>Step 2</li></ol> |
A list with numbers. |
💡 Pro Tip!!!: Always include the
alt="description"
inside your<img>
tag! It helps people who can't see the image (and Google) know what it is! Accessibility is super kawaii! 💖
☁️ Chapter 3: Attributes (Tag Accessories!)
Attributes are extra bits of information that live inside the opening tag. They give the tag special instructions, like adding a little bow to your outfit!
🎀 The Most Used Attributes:
Attribute | What it Does | Used With | Example Code |
---|---|---|---|
href |
Specifies the link destination. | <a> (Anchor) |
<a **href**="home.html">Home</a> |
src |
Specifies the source file for an image. | <img> (Image) |
<img **src**="bunny.png"> |
alt |
Provides alternative text for an image. | <img> (Image) |
<img src="cat.gif" **alt**="Cute Cat Coding"> |
style |
Technically for adding small bits of CSS (but generally avoided!). | Any tag | <p **style**="color: pink;">Pink Text</p> |
Example Combining Tags and Attributes:

Attributes are extra bits of information that live inside the opening tag. They give the tag special instructions!
- The Power-Up Attributes:
The id Attribute: Gives an element a unique name. Used as a target for links (<a href="#section-name">) or JavaScript.
Example: <section id="about-me">
The class Attribute: Gives an element one or more group names (multiple elements can share the same class). Used by CSS to style groups of elements.
Example: <button class="cute-button primary">
The target Attribute (for links): Controls where the link opens. Use _blank to open the link in a new tab.
Example: <a href="external-site.com" target="_blank">Opens in New Tab!</a>
