About HTML Hobbyist
HTML Hobbyist is a tutorial site that teaches HTML for building websites, fanzines and personal pages. Its "One Page Starter" walkthrough takes a beginner from signing up for shared hosting through registering a domain, writing a basic index.html in a plain text editor, adding headings, paragraphs, links and images, and uploading the files through a control panel's WebFTP window. The site also points readers to broader sections on learning about the World Wide Web, learning HTML, and other hosting walk-throughs, including free options that come with restrictions. The starter steps are written around Dreamhost hosting, where a shared plan may include email and a yearly payment option gives a discount over monthly pricing, and a first-year domain may be covered subject to restrictions.
