Summary Remark: HTML Commands or Markup Tags are Enclosed in Angle Brackets (e.g., <Tag>). Some Tags are Single (e.g., <HR>) While Others Come in Pairs with "<StartTag>" and "</EndTag>" (e.g., <BODY> and </BODY>; Markup Tags are NOT usually Case Sensitive (e.g., <HR> or <hr> works). Here, Markup Tags have been Bolded and CAPITALIZED for easy Identification. Oh, HTML stands for "HyperTextMarkupLanguage".

Click here for Very Basic, Example Starter Home Page

Caution: Your home page needs to be called "index.html" in a directory named "public_html" on the local Web Server, which varies with your network (e.g., babe.math.uic.edu = www.math.uic.edu for UIC MSCS, zariski.math.uic.edu for UIC MSCS Sun network, tigger.cc.uic.edu for UIC Faculty accounts, icarus.cc.uic.edu for UIC Graduate Student accounts, etc., but your milage and syntax with vary with the network or subnetwork).
Hint: Use your Browser's "View Source" or Similarly Named Option to examine the HTML Commands used in these Sample HomePages. If the Sample is Suitable, Copy it to Your Own Account and Edit to Your Own Attributes. For your Vitae, you can use either an HTML or PostScript Version, but there are many other Options.
