Hey! I'm Josh, but you know me as jsa005.
In this series of blogs, I'll teach you how to make websites.
Here are the things you'll need:
- A web host (NOT Webs, Weebly, Wix, or ANYTHING like that, use X10Hosting or something like that.)
- FTP access into your hosting account (We'll get to this later)
- That's it!

I'm covering basic HTML (specifically HTML5) in this blog.
Let's get started!
First, create a hosting account.
Second, using the FTP details your webhost gave you (if you're using a cPanel/WHM host, the domain is ftp.YOURDOMAIN, the username is your cPanel username, and the password is your cPanel password), go to http://wapftp.mobi, which I find good if you want to code your website on your DSi/3DS (Really!), or any other web FTP site of your choice (like http://net2ftp.com), or even a desktop FTP client, but I won't cover that here.
In WapFTP, go to your web folder (usually public_html or htdocs) folder, and create a file named "index.htm" (without quotes, of course). When it brings you back to your web folder, click "index.htm", and click "Edit".
Now, let's start coding!
You have to start the file with a DOCTYPE, which tells browsers what type of document it is.
Like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>

Simple. Next, we need to add a <HTML> tag, to start the page.

<HTML>

Now, the header section, which contains titles and things:

<HEAD>

<META charset="UTF-8">

<META name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

<TITLE>My HTML Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>

Run out of space. D'oh! Continue...
