What is Every Geek Should Know?
EGSK (Every Geek Should Know) is a community to share tips and tricks and general information that will help yourself improve on activities, skills, and various other "Geek" related tasks.
Rules:
» Do not post "subreddit killers", e.g. "25 things every geek should know." It is difficult to have stimulating discussion in the comments section when a post focuses on a number of things rather than just one.
» Be respectful. Pretty simple, don't be a dick.
» Beginning posts with "EGSK" and requests with "EGSKR" is encouraged, but not mandatory.

EGSK: Writing a simple webpage with HTML
Always start with a <!DOCTYPE> tag as your first line. For anything written with HTML5, which is the most current, you can simply use <!DOCTYPE html>.
<!DOCTYPE html>Everything must be enclosed in an <html> tag, all but a few tags begin with <tag> and end with </tag>
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> </html>Information for the browser about the page goes in the header, using the <head> tag. For now, all you need is the <title> tag.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My First Webpage</title> </head> </html>Finally, page content goes inside the <body> tag. The most basic content tag is <p>, which shows text in a paragraph.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My First Webpage</title> </head> <body> <p>Hello World! This is my first webpage!</p> </body> </html>
And there you go, you've written your first website! For a list of more basic content tags, refer to this post.
