I didn't want to mess up the coding page before this one so I'm writing this in a new page:

 For example, This basically means start a new paragraph

 </p><p>

Also, if you see the code

href=

in blue you know you are dealing with a Link which contains a URL and a TEXT (or name of the link)

However the href will be in blue printing on the page

And the URL should be in red printing.

So, you are not in an HTML coding page unless you have blue, red, green and black printing on various elements. Each element has a different color for easier reference for a programmer which makes thinking about all this much easier this way.

Also, usually on a coding page everything is jumbled together by the computer reading this whereas I like things more orderly because it is easier to think about.

So, I separate the href coding for links when I have blank link code like this: Actually this is an href coding line for the title Poems at dragonofcompassion.com which is another web site I have had since about 2007 or 2008 where I put a lot of my longer things I write. So, the following link just says basically "Go to the page "Poems" at dragonofcompassion.com.

That's what this next like is telling any computer to do that read this in HTML. 

 

<a href="https://dragonofcompassion.com/poems">poems</a>

or blank link HTML code like this:

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  <a href="link">text</a>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
 <a href="link">text</a>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
 <a href="link">text</a>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
 <a href="link">text</a>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<a href="link">text</a>

I find placing the code on a page like this makes it easier to think about even though the computer will jumble it all together likely at some point too. 

So, this way I have an easier time thinking about what is going on in the code this way than having a single line of code that could be 100 lines long or more all jumbled together. I might know what it is saying in HTML but I find it much harder to think about it so I tend to separate the elements into useful thoughts rather than have it all jumbled together. 

So, the more elements you understand in HTML (which actually means Hypertext Markup Language)

which is the original language created for web pages online worldwide the more you understand how to program things yourself if you want to at some point.
