 * thats a very big question..
 * if you have a look at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates)
   you will see that parts of the site are located in different sections.. ie headers
   and footers that are common across the site have their own files..
 * however, the simpler answer is the HTML that a user sees in the ‘view source’
   section is created by the files in your template folder.. located in
 * `site_root\wp-content\themes\theme_name`
 * i wouldnt suggest touching much in the way of back end coding if you’re unfamiliar
   with it though, as its a good way to break things 🙂
