This tutorial is only ment to show the beginner what html is. In this tutorial you will learn how to make a very basic web page. Hopefully you will see how easy html is.

Why would you want to know html? Well one reason is so that you can do these challenges on this site. But another one is that you may be interested in making your own web page. This is the tutorial enjoy.

Well you need a place to write your code so open note pad use it to make your web page.

Enter the text in the text editor exactly as it is shown below. [<plaintext> <!–The text in between these brackets will not show up in your web page, this is used for the programmer to help him/her to remember what is going on in there code.–>

<title>My first web page!</title><!–The title tag will make the text "My first web page!" appear at the top of the browser window.–>

<body><!– the body of you web page goes here–>

<p> This is the paragraph tag. <!–Write your paragraphs here.–> </p><!– After you are done writing your paragraph you should use this tag to close the <p> tag–>

<pre><!–Use this text to have the browser format text exactly as you want–> Check this out the text goes where I want. </pre><!–Use this to close the <pre> tag–>
