You'll be happy to learn that it's really pretty simple. The basic idea is this: A web page is nothing more than a file, a HTML file to be exact. It's called HTML because web page documents have the file extension .html or .htm. HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.

| Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed your tutorials. After reading your tutorials, I bailed on my old web site which was done with *** and started my own from scratch with notepad. It was like crawling out of a 5 gallon bucket. I now can do exactly what I want. | ||

Let's get started. First, if you have any of them fancy HTML editors and have an inkling to break em in now, just forget it. The worst way to learn is to use one of those things. (Although there are a few that you will find helpful, they'll only help you once you learn the basics, so don't even worry about it now.) What's the best way to learn HTML?? Dreamweaver???Fireworks???Webeditor????No, no, no, the best way to learn it is just using Notepad. I know, I know, you maybe thinks that this is ridiculous. Just trust me on this one. K?
Another tool you'll need is a browser to view your web pages. You can choose any browser you like but I strongly recommend Mozilla Firefirox or Google Chrome. If you're using something else, it should be OK for most things, but you may be somewhat limited.
With that out of the way I can say with confidence that you are less than 5 minutes away from making your first web page! So..We will proceed to lesson 1.
