Did you know that HTML wasn’t always the way it is today?
<p>Let’s take a fun ride through how HTML started and evolved.
</p><p>Did you know HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language? It’s the language that gives structure to every web page you see online!
</p><p>Did you know the very first version of HTML was created in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee, the same person who invented the World Wide Web? He built it so scientists could easily share research online.
</p><p>Did you know that early HTML had only 18 simple tags? Imagine building a whole website with just that.
</p><p>Did you know that by 1995, HTML 2.0 came along and made web pages more organized and flexible? It was the first official standard version of HTML!
</p><p>Did you know HTML kept growing and improving? HTML 3.2 and HTML 4.0 brought new features like tables, images, and forms so websites could look more interactive and fun.
</p><p>Did you know that around 1999, HTML 4.01 became the big deal? That’s when websites started to look a little more like the ones we see today.
</p><p>Then came XHTML, a stricter version of HTML that followed XML rules. But guess what? Developers found it too strict, so they wanted something more flexible.
</p><p>Did you know that’s how HTML5 was born? Introduced in 2014, HTML5 made it possible to add videos, audio, animations, and even games directly to websites without using extra plugins.
</p><p>And today, HTML5 is still what we use to build modern, beautiful, and responsive websites.
</p><p>So next time you open a webpage, remember you’re looking at the result of over 30 years of growth and innovation. Cool, right? </p><p>

At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
