Your First Web Page
To start off with copy the following HTML code into notepad. Be sure to copy the code exactly, otherwise your web page may not function correctly.
HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
</head><body>
<h2>My first webpage!</h2>
</body>
</html>
The above code is all that is required to create a basic web page! Now save your file in notepad by selecting Menu and then Save. Click on the Save as Type drop down box and select the option All Files.
When asked to name your file, type "index.html", without the quotes. Double check that you did everything correctly and then press save. Remember where it was saved to because you will need to open this file, soon!
Viewing Your Web Page - Web Browsers
To view your web page, you are going to have to use a web browser (of course). Web browsers are programs that interpret HTML, like what you have just copied into notepad, and transform that code into a visual representation, or a web page. Common web browsers include:
Viewing your page
To view your web page, you must open the "index.html" file inside of a web browser. Open up another browser window and then follow these instruction.
In the new browser window, select File then Open
Then click Browse to enter Windows Explorer
Do you remember where you file is? Good, then navigate to its location
When you find your file, index.html, double-click the file to open it inside your web browser
Success! You have just viewed your very first webpage.
If this did not work for you, please go through the steps again and follow the directions closely.
