== Writing HTML on RedBrick ==
If you want to write your pages on RedBrick here's some html code to get your feet off the ground. Just type nano ~/public_html/index.html and insert the following code:
<html>
<head>
<title> Title of page </title>
</head>
<body> The actual webpage goes in here </body>
</html>
The <head> and </head> tags tell the Web browser where the HTML in your document starts and finishes. After the <html> is where all the document's information should go. Between <title> and </title> is where the title of your page should go. This appears in the bar at the top of the browser. After these come the <body> and </body> tags. This is where you put the information you want displayed on the actual webpage itself.
It is important to make sure to close all the tags in the right order. If you open a head tag and then a title tag, you have to close the title tag first, then the head one.
