Programming.a.baby - (WebDesign) Create a Web Page

You want to create a Web Page

You do not know how to make one

You don't have an editor

Making a simple Web Page is not difficult, but would requires experience if you want to make something more complex later, so it will be good if you follow the Web Design and Web Hosting Rules always.

Keep in mind that the majority of Web Pages are Text Documents, or with text editable inside

There are many Text and Html Editors like Front Page (Microsoft) and Dreamweaver (Adobe), my favorite is Web Expression from Microsoft, but if you want a free one, try searching the web for a freeHtml Editor.

But for now, the good thing

We wont need any editor for starting, just follow my steps:

.

If you are using Windows, open your Notepad from

your Start Menu

• Start menu
• All programs
• Search for note pad within W7 or click accessories in other Windows Versions
  

or by using these fast steps

• MS + R (this will open the Run App) (MS is your Microsoft Windows Logo's Key)
• Write "notepad" (without the quotes)
• Click Enter Key (this will open your notepad)

********** ********** **********

Now lets write some text into the text document and save as index.html by

1. Clicking in the Notepad menu Save As
2. Select the "Desktop" as the local to Save (it will be better to work)
   
3. In the File's name we will Write "index.html" (without the quotes)
4. In the Save as File's type we will select "All Files"
5. Close the Notepad
   

Now take a look at your file in the desktop

It must have the Internet Explorer icon (case you are using IE) or your favorite browser's icon

********** ********** **********

If not, it means that you are seeing "index" instead of "index.html" and you still are seeing it as a normal Notepad Text Document is maybe because your Operating System is hiding Files Extensions from you, so you will need to follow these steps so you can see the entire name and extension of the document you had created:

For Windows XP, 2000, 2003, ME, 98, 95

1. Open your Windows Explorer by Clicking MS + E
   
2. Click on View --> Folder Options --> View
3. Uncheck "Hide extensions for know file types"
   

For Windows 7 and Vista

• Click in the Start Menu and open Control Panel
  
• Aspect and Personalization --> Folder Options --> View
• Uncheck "Hide extensions for know file types"

********** ********** **********

Now you must see the file you've in the desktop with a Name and an Extension,

example: name.txt

Remember that we want it to call it "index.htm"

Click the file and press F2 Key and then Rename your file.
