From ten hour loops of Nyan Cat to the high chance of being “Rick-rolled”, Youtube.com is a great place to procrastinate and waste time. This is demonstrated best by the Pronunciation Manual. The Pronunciation Manual is a satirical interpretation of how to pronounce many not-so-common words in the English language.

The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). In between these tags web designers can add text, tags, comments and other types of text-based content. HTML is important for webpages, and understanding how to use HTML makes you eligable for webdesign
