Your First Webpage

First off, you need something to create your html page in. I recommend Notepad, but any text editor could work.

Basic Format

The Two Parts

The Head: The head contains advanced content like CSS and Javascript along with stuff that search engines use to index your page. Also in the head is the title, where you will put the text you want to appear in the browser bar.
The Body: The body contains everything that will appear on your website. Here you will put text, images, lists, and anything else you want to put there.

Most importantly, you have to include html tags at the beginning and end of your page. If you forget these your webpage won't work right.

A basic page would look like this...

<html>
<head>
<title>Your title here</title>

</head>
<body>
Your content

</body>
</html>

For starters this is all you should start with. When you want to you can go check out the other tutorials, to find out how to format text, add images, etc.

Saving your webpage

To save your html page, click file, save as. Title your file and add an extension of .htm or .html. If this will be your homepage make sure to save it as index.htm or index.html. Next change the file type to "All Files".

Running your page

To open your page, go to the place where you saved your file to. Now right-click on the file. Then click open with and choose your browser. And ta-da your page should open in your browser.
