This tutorial includes a few simple lessons on how to
make a Web Page. This is a very basic tutorial.
It's really quite simple
A web page is nothing more than a file, a HTML file to be exact. It's
called HTML because web page documents have the file extension .html
or .htm. HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up
Language.
Let's get started
First, if you have any of those fancy WYSIWYG programs, avoid using
them for now. Although there are a few that you will find helpful, they'll
only help you once you learn the basics. What's the best way to learn
HTML? By using a text editor called Notepad.
Another tool you'll need is a Web browser to view your web pages.
Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator are the most popular.
You're using a browser righht now to view this page!
| FAQ: What is Notepad and where do I get
it?
A: Notepad is the default Windows text editor. On most
Windows 98 systems, click your Start button and choose Programs
then Accessories. It should be a little blue notebook. For our
purposes, ANY text editor will do nicely. You can go to most any
shareware/freeware site and pick yourself up a zippy new text
editor, many of them being free. For the time being though, Notepad
will do quite nicely.

With that out of the way I can say with confidence that you are
less than 5 minutes away from making your first web page! Off to Lesson
