Basics: Create a New Page

	Every web page contains some very basic HTML code that tells the browser some essential information.
	Here is the basic page code and explanations for what each tag does: <HTML> tells the browser to open the page. <HEAD> holds the <TITLE> tag. <TITLE> indicates the page name used by the browser as a bookmark reference. <BODY> holds the viewable contents of a file.
	Thus every blank simple web page looks like this: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Your page title goes here.</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> All the text and graphics that actually appear on the monitor go here. </BODY> </HTML>
	To create your basic web page 1) Open Notepad: From the Windows Desktop, go to START (lower left corner of your screen). Choose Programs, then Accessories. Scroll to Notepad and click. 2) Type the following: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML> 3) Save the file: Go to File Save As and the Save As dialog box will appear In the Save in dropdown box at the top of the dialog box, scroll to and open the drive and folder where you want to keep your web page files. Name your file template.htm In the Save as type dropdown box, choose Text Documents. Click on Save.
Create Your First Web Page	1) In Notepad open the file template.htm 2) Next to the opening <TITLE> tag but after the second angle bracket, type My First Web Page Ex: <TITLE>My First Web Page</TITLE>	NOTE: Set the File of Type dropdown box to show All Files.
Save a File	3) Save the file. Go to File Save As and the Save As dialog box will appear. Be sure the homepage folder is open in the Save in dropdown box at the top of the dialog box.. Name your file first.htm In the Save as type dropdown box, choose Text Documents. Click on Save.	NOTE: When you are ready to create your first real home page, name the file default.htm
	You should now have two files in your homepage: your HTML template and the file in which you will create your first web page. To check, do the following: In Notepad go to File Open. Be sure that the homepage folder is open in the Look in dropdown menu. In the Files of type dropdown box, scroll to All Files. You should see a file named template and a file named first.
