INTRODUCTION TO CREATING WEB PAGES


Site Navigation--> Introduction Saving Edit/Create Make It Unique More...

This is an introduction to creating a very simple, no-frills website. Throughout this hands-on tutorial, you will see snapshots of actual code and of browser renderings. Actually this site was created using the same type of information as the examples. I realize this is not the most elegant site, however it was written so that you could use not only the examples, but the source it was created with as well. Use this website as the bar for the minimum requirement for your assignment...feel free to be inspired to add more customization to your own pages.

Below you see a snapshot of a rendered HTML or Web page through the browser. As you see, the background of this HTML page is blue. This is done through the use of html tags.

HTML tags instructs the browser on how to render (show) the page. You can see the actual html tags (html source code) by clicking the menu item 'View' -> 'Source' from the navigation bar.



The source should open in Notepad or your default text editor. You can create or edit an entire website using a simple text editor such as Notepad.

NOTE: Dont use Microsoft Word or any other Word Processor to edit or create webpages.
Those software applications add formatting to the pages that the browser can't understand. Simple is better in this case. Now that you know how to view the source, we can move on to saving your source code.
