Write HTML Using Notepad
As I've said before, you can create web pages using a text editor like Notepad, Notepad++ or Adobe Dreamweaver. However, we will use Notepad for learning HTML. Using a simple text editor is a good way to learn HTML. Let's create your first web page by following the steps below.
Step 1: Open your Notepad
Click the start screen or windows logo and type notepad. You can also use the search button for finding your notepad.
Step 2: Write some HTML
Write or copy below HTML codes in your notepad.
Step 3: Save the HTML Page
Save your file so we can start opening it in a browser. Select File > Save as > name your file "index.htm" > in Save as type, choose All Files > set the encoding to UTF-8 (which is the preferred encoding for HTML files) > click Save.
There is no difference if you would like to use .htm or .html as file extension. You can use either of the two, it's up to you.
Step 4: Open and View the HTML Page in your Browser
Using your web browser like Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc., open the saved HTML file in your favorite browser (double click on the file, or right-click - and choose "Open with").
Congratulations, you now created your HTML page.
