How to write code: how wrong am I?

I wrote a short page on how to actually type of code that one writes, it can be found here: http://dotancohen.com/howto/write_code.html The point that I stress on the page is that first you close an element, then you fill it's contents. The page has examples in HTML and PHP. I would like to know what the experienced programmers here think about this. Am I going about it wrong?
