How do I make a Web Page? |
|
Most webpages are done using HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language. There are two ways you can create your HTML webpage. The first, and most traditional is via a text editor such as notepad, or simpletext. (NOTE: Most word processing progams will not work this way, as they do not save in plain text. Some word processing programs can work as WYSIWYG editors as described below.) The other way is to use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor such as Macromedia Drean Weaver or Microsoft Frontpage. The biggest advantage to using a text editor over a WYSIWYG editor is that you have more control and also its easier to get help on. The down side is you have to learn the HTML language.
