Building a Web Page for the Totally Lost
Step 2: Writing the HTML

By , About.com Guide

Writing the HTML is mostly a matter of typing tags and text into a text editor.

In the text editor type the following text. Type it exactly as it appears on this page (but if an advertisement appears in the box, you'll need to remove that):

<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>This is my first Web page.</p>
</body>
</html>

The next page shows how to save this file as a Web page on your computer.
