4. Creating your first web page
Using the primary HTML tags, mentioned in Chapter 3, you are now ready to create your first Web page.
Step 1 Open up a
text editor (SimpleText for Mac or Notepad for Windows)
Step 2 Enter the following:
<html>
<head>
<title> This is my first web page</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello world. This is my first web page. There's more to come.
</body>
</html>
Step 3 Save the document as: firstpage.html
Your file can be saved as either an htm or html file. Remember to save your document on
the computer in a place that you can find it again.
Step 4 To preview your new document, open
Netscape Navigator. On the tool bar (located up near the top of the browser):
Select File menu.
Select Open Page
A dialogue box appears. Select Choose File
Go to where you saved your file, click on it. This will bring you back to the dialogue box, which should now be showing your file.
Click Open
Step 5 If all went as planned, your file should look like this in your browser.
Congratulations!
You have successfully completed your first web page. It actually doesn’t get any
harder than this for your simple, everyday page.
Let’s continue to build on this same page by adding more tags discussed in the following pages.
