Basic HTML

We are going to learn how to make basic web pages using HTML. There are many HTML tutorials that you can explore. http://www.lissaexplains.com/ is a good one; it looks kind of childish, but easy to follow. HTML glossary is nicely organized, and HTML Tutorial is a good one too.

Create a "Webpage" folder in your Design folder.
Open "Note Pad" in the Start menu- Accessories-Note Pad.
Type the following:

<html>

<head>

<title>Choose your own site title, and type it in here.</title>

</head>

<body>

Everything that appears on your site will be entered here (text, images etc.), between the body tags.

</body>

</html>

Then save as "my_1st_webpage.html". (Make sure you include the extention ".html")

Open Internet Explorer File- Open- Browse for the file in your folder.
