Lesson 1: main tags
In few minutes you will make your first Homepage, but be patient because the following tags are very important and are very easy so start by opening a text editor. I would recomend you use notepad if you are using windows 95/98/00 you can go to the start buttom then programs then accessories and finally open notepad. start with a blank page and type the following:

<html>
</html>
This is how you start every html page You write <html> to tell the browser to read html document and you need to close that with </html> this second one is the last thing on your homepage so our homepage will be in between this tag. so add the following tag.
<html>
<head>
</head>
</html>
The above example shows you how to write the head tag: that is were you put your title. Anything you write inside the head will not be seen by visitors. so to write the title you will need to add the following tag in between the head tag as shown in the following example:
<html>
<head>
<title>My title goes here</title>
</head>
</html>
Noticed where I wrote the title name. Your title can be anything you want, but make sure it should go inside the<title> tags. Now You will write the most important cord the body tag. Inside your body goes your whole homepage and anything you type will appear. so add the following body tag and write something inside as shown in the following example:
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Page</title>
</head>

<body>
This is my first homepage so I'm excited.
</body>
</html>
congratulations!! you have just made a homepage. This is what every homepage contains and the rest of the things you will learn will be put inside the body like the above excample: Save your homepage in a place you know as "First.html" You can save it as any name you like, but it must end with .html. When you double click the file name you have saved you will see a homepage that says "This is my first homepage so I'm excited" amazing isn't it. If it didn't work for you, you probably made a mistake. You can go back and try again or if you want you can email me

If you think you are ready for the next lesson make sure you get a cup of coffee and come back for
