Hello. My name is Jaffri
 and I'm going
to give you a few simple lessons on how to make a Web Page. I
must warn you, this is for the Newbies. If you're at all
experienced at this sort of thing, you'll probably find this
tutorial a bit of a yawner.
You'll be happy to learn that it's really pretty simple. The
basic idea is this... A web page is nothing more than a file, a
HTML file to be exact. It's called HTML because web page
documents have the file extension .html or .htm.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.
(If you are unclear about this file extension stuff, then you
really are newbie!! Take a quick
tour for a few tips on the subject).
Let's get started. First, if you
have any of them fancy HTML editors... forget it. The worst way
to learn is to use one of those things. (Although there are a
few that you will find helpful, they'll only help you once you
learn the basics, so don't even worry about it now.) What's the
best way to learn HTML?? Notepad.
Another tool you'll need is a browser to view your
web pages. Internet Explorer is what I strongly recommend. If
you're using something else, it should be OK for most things,
but you may be somewhat limited. If you're using something
provided by America Online, CompuServe, or one of those Internet
in a Box packages, you're on your own because I have no idea
what they give you to work with.
You are less than 5 minutes away from making your first web
page! So.. off to lesson 1.
