How to Create a Web Page with Notepad++
Today, I finally sat down and created a video on how to make a simple web page using only Notepad++. For those of you out there that might feel intimidated by coding, I wanted to show you that it is nothing to be afraid of, and that anyone can do it.
If you don't have Notepad++, you can download it for free.
Okay, the first thing to do is to open Notepad, and also open the browser of your choice. We'll put them next to each other, so we can see what our page looks like as we make changes to the code.
Inside Notepad, type the following:
<!DOCTYPE html> <head> <title>My First Web Page</title> <body> <h1>My First Web Page</h1> </body> </head> </html>This doesn't look very pretty but it will work. Save the file as whatever you want to call it, but be sure to include the .html at the end (ie: file.html). Now, you can click on the file tab in the top left of Notepad++ and select "Open in default viewer", which will open it in the browser you have set up as your default. Congratulations! You've created your first web page, and with hardly any effort.
