HTML5 Video

Html5 is a modern code supported by modern browsers such Opera12+ Internet Explorer 10, Mozilla Firefox 14+, Internet Explorer 10 and Google Chrome 18+. This is the video code. The video file should be Webm or mp4 for best support. If you can have your video in both file formats, that's great because then, if one browser doesn't support a file type, it will use the other. The basic code is: 
<video src="videoURL"></video>

If you have mp4 and webm the master code is this:

<video>
  <source src="videoURL.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' />
  <source src="videoURL.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
  Sorry, you're using an outdated browser! Upgrade to a fast, free web <a href="http://opera.com">here</a>.

This is the HTML5 video code. Much more simple than you thought?

Creat a Favicon

Favicons are icons which show in the browser's tabs or address bar. They make your site look more professional and help make it stand out. An example would be the favicon of my blog shown at the beginning of the post. The picture next to the title is the favicon. 
First, choose an image that you would want to be your favicon. It should be almost square or exactly square. Do not cram to many details in it for it will be put into a "very tight place." You could use Windows snipping tool to clip a peace of your logo. Go to http://convertico.com and select upload a file from computer. Choose your image and wait for it to be uploaded. Then download the finished icon. Now we get to the hard part. Upload the favicon.ico file to you server or website host. Then add this code to your homepage: 
         
    <link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="/favicon.ico">                                                           

Save it and you will be done.

HTML text

Html is an old programming code used quite often in webpages. This post is to show you how to write rich text in HTML. HTML is supported by all browsers. This does not include color, however.

Fonts are the way the text looks. the most common fonts and their code are:

When you want a font to end and display the browser's defaut font, use this closing tag: </span> You can get many more fonts and their codes at the Google Web Fonts Directory'
2. Size
So how do you get your font size to change? Simple. The size tags. They are <h1></h1> <h2></h2> <h3></h3> <h4></h4> <h5></h5> <h6></h6> 
<h1> is the largest, and I do not know how far the fine print goes down. </h1> is the closing tag.
