Usually, tutorial websites instruct you on making "Hello World!" page.
In this certain example. I'm going to teach you how to make a page that says "Good day world, today you shall be smitten by my greatness" - So, let's get down to creating the file.
You could create this file in Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage by a click of a button but if your laptop blew up from overclocking, you're stuck at a kiosk, with no means but Notepad to patch a website emergency for NASA - then hand coding will prove useful.
First, make sure you can see file extensions. If you are on Windows XP - Hit Windows logo + E on your keyboard. Click Tools > Folder Options, View tab > un-check Hide extensions for known file types then hit ok.
Second, get to your Desktop, right click any blank area, New > Text document. Once made, rename the file to index.html, and hand type the code below.
<html>
<head>
<title>Good day world</title>
</head>
<body>Good day world, today you shall be smitten by my greatness
</body>
</html>
File > Save > double-left-click the file to see your delirious masterpiece up in a browser.
In time, you'll find hand writing code will help your brain become less reliant on Google. Next up, I'll delve into each of these tags used, and more.
