How to Add HTML Headings To Your Web Page

In HTML, headings are written in the following elements:

• <h1>
  • <h2>
    • <h3>
      • <h4>
        • <h5>
          • <h6>

As you might have guessed <h1> and <h2> should be used for the most important titles, while the remaining tags should be used for sub-headings and less important text.

Search engine bots use this order when deciphering which information is most important on a page.

Creating Your Heading

Let’s try it out. On a new line in the HTML editor, type:

<h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>

And hit save. We will save this file as “index.html” in a new folder called “my webpage.”

The Moment of Truth: Click the newly saved file and your first ever web page should open in your default browser. It may not be pretty it’s yours… all yours. *Evil laugh*

Well let’s not get carried away; we’ve still got loads of great features that we can add to your page.
