What are you starting with? HTML/CSS? If you have never coded before, it is the most forgiving since it is not programming code, but compositional markup that follows an outline rather than a procedural recipe (imperative logic).

Give us some idea what your problem is since we cannot possibly know where you are at. Help us to help you.

  • post a link to the exercise you are working on
  • post a sample of your attempted work
  • tell us a little about your background (middle school, senior high, college)

Im currently doing HTML

Apart from the need to satisfy the lesson checker, there is nothing you can do that will break anything. As we said, HTML is very forgiving and not that hard to learn. At first it may be a little overwhelming, what with the hundreds of tags and their own special meanings, but it will sort itself in due course of time.

<p>Hello World!</p>

The above is about as simple a demonstration of HTML as it gets. The text, ‘Hello World!’ is what we call, marked up with OPENTAG and ENDTAG, <p></p> that denotes a paragraph, a defined type of HTML Element used to markup textual content. When we render it in a browser, it will appear at the top left of a blank, white window as,

Hello World!

First lesson completed. Let us know which exercise you are on so we can follow the narrative and maybe guide you along for the first bit. You’ll catch on quickly enough.

Aside

You can learn practice HTML on your own computer with just a text editor and a browser. In you documents folder, create a folder called ‘practice-html’ and navigate to that folder. Inside the explorer window, right click and select New > Text Document.

That will create a file with a .txt extension. Rename it to `paragraph.html’ and then right click the file, > Edit with Notepad.

It will open in Notepad and be a blank window into which you can type your markup.

<p>Hello World</p>

Now Save, and in the explorer window, click the file and it will open your browser and render the contents of the file.

Hello World

If you examine the location bar of your browser, you will see the URL of your local file:

file:///C:/Users/YOU/Documents/practice-html/paragraph.html

Give it a try, and repeat the process a couple of times so it becomes natural and commonplace. You’re up and running. Keep us posted of your progress.
