In Lesson 1(a), we learnt about HTML basic definition and made things easy by understanding that it is not at all a programming language.
So it is clear that we don’t need any tool or editor to transcribe a webpage based on HTML language. Use a simple notepad or word pad and save the file after writing an HTML code, with .htm or .html extension. If you want, you can use a website designing software like Dreamweaver or Microsoft Visual.
Before starting our first exercise, there are a few practices which will make it easier for you to keep track of your work. Create a separate folder to save all your work files. I have made a folder by the name of HTML on my desktop. This makes it easier for me find out all I have been learning!
Let us learn to create our first homepage with a linking page.
1. Type the codes in a notepad or any text editor (this is my deliberate effort to use images rather than texts so that all of you start typing. Remember practice is the only way to achieve perfection).
2. Save the text file as homepage.htm or any name with .htm extension.
3. Open a new text file and type the below codes into it.
4. Save the file as page.htm in the same folder where you saved homepage.htm.
5. Double click on homepage.htm.
The below page appears (My HTML World) in the browser window (Firefox in my case).
6. Click My page link on My HTML World page.
The My Page which you saved as page.htm appears.
So, how was it? Your first webpage with link to other page too.
Wasn’t it too simple?
Actually it is!
Wait to learn the different HTML tags which will make you understand the above codes and make many out of them!
Till then remember the above discussions we had!
