Web pages are built using a coding language called HTML.

That's Hyper Text Markup Language if you want to impress your friends.

HTML is a simple tool that uses a tag based code to produce text on a computer screen.

The basic code for a page is shown below.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
Hello World
</body>
</html>

This code could actually be saved as a web page and would produce the words Hello World on the computer screen.

If you've never made a web page and previewed it in a browser, you should read Notepad and Browser before you start this exercise.

When you are ready:

Copy the text to NotePad
Hold down your left mouse button and drag it over the code to highlight it.
Right Click on the highlighted code and Click Copy
Open NotePad and Right Click inside the editor window.
Click Paste
Save the Page
Click File - SaveAS
Save the page as firstpage.html (Remember where you save it!!)
Look at the page with a browser
On any browser (Even AOL) Click File
Click Open
Navigate to the folder where you saved firstpage.html
Click on the filename firstpage.html to highlight it
Click Open

The words Hello World should appear in the browser window.

Note: If all you see is code, you saved the file with a .txt extension. The .html extension is critical.
