Building Your First Web Page

Class #2

We are typing in "Notepad" (found in Windows Accessories)

Action:		Example:
Basic <tags> for every page Start with the basic tags Save as "testpage.htm" in directory of your choice. Note: Your browser only recognizes "one" space between words. The "tab", "carriage return", or "space bar" will only create "one" space. We will have to learn how to create spaces. We use that shortcoming to our advantage by typing our <tags> on the left margin. It makes them easier to find as our pages become complicated. We could space them on the same line and the computer would display the same results; For example: <HEAD><TITLE>Test Page</TITLE></HEAD> Inside the <tag> you may also use lower or upper case text. It is easier to "spot" a <tag> if you are consistent throughout you site.		<HEAD> <TITLE> Test Page </TITLE> </HEAD> </BODY> This is where you type what will be seen on the Internet. We will build our web site between the "body" tags. </BODY> </HTML>
Action:		Results:
Start you browser Click on "file" & "open" Find "testpage.htm" in the directory you saved it and open file		You should see the lines you typed between the <BODY> tags. The "Title" should appear in the top line of the browser at the top of the screen. Our example page is HERE
