Create Your Own Free Web Page

Create your own free web page using any simple text editor. You can use NotePad on Windows or whatever it is that you use on a Mac.

Basic web pages are built using a coding language called HTML. Hyper Text Markup Language if you want to impress your friends.

HTML is a simple tool that uses a tag based code to produce text on a computer screen.

The basic code for a page is shown below.
<html> <head></head> <body> Hello World </body> </html>

This code could actually be saved as a web page and would produce the words Hello World on the computer screen.

If you'd like to try it:

Copy the text to NotePad: Hold down your left mouse button and drag it over the code to highlight it.; Right Click on the highlighted code and Click Copy; Open NotePad and Right Click inside the editor window.; Click Paste
Save the Page: Click File - SaveAS; Save the page as firstpage.html (Remember where you save it!!)
Look at the page with a browser: On any browser (Even AOL) Click File; Click Open; Navigate to the folder where you saved firstpage.html; Click on the filename firstpage.html to highlight it; Click Open

The words Hello World should appear in the browser window.

Note: If all you see is code, you saved the file with a txt extension. The .html extension is critical.
