This is an good small tutorial for those new to HTML. People do need a place to start, and why not start with the basics. I like this tutorial, I'm sure showing people this will allow alot more people to become interested in learning HTML.
Now, if you dont mind me adding a small bit to this, may I?
Most websites start out with a simple layout of tags. Tags are the letters you see in the brackets ( '<' '>' ) Most websites have a simple lineup of tags to start, which is easy to memorize with a few moments of practice. Keep in mind that the closeing tag always has a '/' before the tag name.
This is the basic setup to start makeing your webpage.
