author Posted by: matthew on date Aug 30th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Beginner

Just thinking of covering the basics for those that are unfamiliar with the terms we used on internet marketing.

HTML stand for HyperText Markup language. It basically addresses the problem that no two users have exactly the same software on a PC. Hence, it standardised the formating language that browers can display the information correctly on differenet PC.

Dont panic, let me explain.
Most likely you are familiar with word processing software like Microsoft Words. It is a software that deals with formatting of a documents that you can print nicely out to show your boss. Notepad is also another software that display and edit documents but without any formatting.
Therefore, in the beginning of internet, they do face with a problem of how to display documents on different PC. Not all PC has Microsoft word. Hence, then invention of HTML. It contains all the information about the necessary formating that a browser has to show.

Hope this short posting would help any one that is search for an answer to this question. For others that is scratching their head why did i suddenly post on a topic that is that simple, isnt it obvious? Haha
