Finishing Our First Page

So let's finish this page up. We'll put a simple title and a simple message into our HTML code, save it out and load it up.

Add the following information to your document to complete your first web page:

In the <head> tags, type:
<title>My First Webpage</title>
In the <body> tags, type:
<h1>Hello Everyone!</h1>

So your HTML document should now look like this:

<html>

<head>
<title>My First Webpage</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Hello Everyone!<h1>
</body>

</html>

If you load up the html document now, (or refresh the one currently in your browser), you should have a page whose title is "My First Webpage", (look at the top of the window), and should display the text, "Hello Everyone!" in a header 1 size. Pretty straight forward huh? (As an aside, the header tags range in size from 1 to 6, 1 being the largest, and 6 being the smallest.)

Congratulations on your first web page! There are a lot of people who are on the web that don't know a lick of HTML, and use programs to make their websites for them. So in the future when they ask which program you used to make your website just say,
"Oh, I just hand coded it in Notepad".
Respect.
