Getting Started

To make your website you can use any text editor like Notepad or use HTML building programs like Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Front Page, etc..... (Check out http://www.download.com for more). You can use whatever you find more comfortable. Just click on the links to the left to navigate through the information.

In all web pages you need these basic tags to start your web page. Open your HTML editor, notepad, or any other text program and type this code in. When you save it, save it as index.html that tells the program to save it as a webpage. Just like Microsoft Word documents are .doc and executable programs are .exe HTML has its own extension which is .html

<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
Wassup!
</body>
</html>

All web pages need the html tag to open a web page. To close a tag you put a / in front of it (ie. </body>). After the opening html tag comes the head tags and inside them you put the title tags. Whatever you type in the title tags shows up on the top of the visitors browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape). Inside the head tags you would put things such as JavaScript and CSS. After those comes the body tag. Most of the coding goes inside the body tags.

HTML coding does not have to be in all caps or in all lower case. Another thing to remember is that you should always be organized when typing code so that you can fix your errors and make updates easily. What I mean about being neat is that you have to type codes in different lines instead of everything on one line. You should never leave space inside the tags either (ie. < body>).
