Creating a simple personal web page

HTML – Basic HTML Exercises Using Notepad

In this discussion you will use   Microsoft NotePad to create a simple personal web page and post it as your initial post for all your classmates to see and respond to it. Begin by following the steps below.

 

 

1 – Creating a directory (folder) and your initial Notepad file

  1. Create a folder on your desktop to save your HTML pages in (call it “My web page“)
  2. Start Notepad. Type the document tags below in your Notepad file.

  1. Save your Notepad file in your HTML directory and name it txt.
  2. Now close your index.txtfile and then in the HTML directory folder rename the file html within the folder.
    • You can change the extension .txtof your Notepad file to .html to view the file and back to .txt to edit your progress as you start adding your HTML
    • NOTE: Opening your Notepadfile with the .html extension will open it in the default internet browser installed in your computer to view it as a web page. Opening the file with the .txt extension will open the file in Notepad for editing.
