Copy and paste the following into a text editor. For Mac users, use Simple Text, Windows users should use the Notepad program. You don't really need fancy software to make web pages. You can do quite well with a plain old text editor.
-- START BELOW THIS LINE --
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>The title of your page goes here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="white"
TEXT="black"
LINK="blue"
VLINK="purple"
ALINK="red">
THE VISIBLE STUFF FOR YOUR PAGE GOES HERE
</BODY>
</HTML>
-- STOP ABOVE THIS LINE --
Now, save your text file as your_filename.htm
Save it somewhere you can find it later.
To see the file, just double click on it.
All those weird looking tags above are arranged in what is referred to as the 'HTML Skeleton'. This is the bare minimum you need to create a working web page. Of course, until you put something in between the two BODY tags, you won't see much of anything if you view it in your browser, except the phrase "THE VISIBLE STUFF FOR YOUR PAGE GOES HERE" in the top left of the window.
Pretty boring, but wait till you learn more HTML and learn to spice it up!
