Getting Started
A HTML webpage is just a very simple text file, nothing more. Forget fancy tools like Dreamweaver and Frontpage, all they do is write these text files for you.
Windows computers use file name extensions so they know what type of files are which. .doc is a word file, .txt is a text file and .html is a webpage for example. By default Windows hides these so you might not have noticed them.
Now we'll create a new file. Right click on your desktop New > Text document. Don't worry about naming it. Open it and then File > Save As.... Call the file index.html and click save. Now if you were to try and open the file it'll open in a web browser. It's good practice to name all files and write all HTML in lowercase.
The next time you need to edit the file right click and select Open with... and then Notepad. You might have to Choose Program... (leave the default as a web browser though). Now we can start writing HTML.
