Getting Started
The amazing thing about web page creation is how incredibly simple it is to do. It truly brings free publishing ability into the hands of anyone with Internet access and a willingness to learn by a little trial and error. If it were rocket science, there wouldn't be so many more web pages than there are rockets.
Web page creation doesn't even require expensive software. To get started all you need is a browser (which you have, or you wouldn't be reading this) and a text editor such as TextEdit (on Macintosh) or NotePad (on Windows PCs).
The basic procedure is:
- Launch both the text editor and browser
- Create some HTML markup "code" in the text editor
- Save the file with an .html suffix
- Open this .html file with the browser to view it as it will appear on the web
- Go back to the editor to add more content or make changes
- Save the file again
- Go back to the browser and click Reload or Refresh to see how the changes look
That's it: type/save/reload, type/save/reload over and over until you reach perfection -- or as close to perfection as you want to get.
