Making a simple web page with notepad


"The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it."


Samuel Johnson

"The Web is the place."

My quote.

This code BODY bgcolor="#ffffff" in brackets tells the computer to make the page white. (Got a color chart from the web.)

The BR in brackets is a break. The HR a line. Strong is the same as bold in WP. I is to make italics.

Save this in notepad as (name.htm). Then if your system is like mine, it will open up as a very simple web page. You have to have the HTML at the beginning. And you have to end it. The forward Slash ends it. I can also imbed sound and make links. And, no, I haven't had years to perfect it. I've only worked with it since Jan. 16, 1997 (and today is Feb 21, 1997). I work full time and only get to work on it at night. No fancy editor - only use notepad. Have to learn those codes..but, hey..COOL!) But I've worked with Oracle Book and WP and learned the codes....And if you'd look at my web page , you'll see animation.. I could go on but...And, hey, I've always been willing to share. A weakness? H-m-m. Maybe..

There are lots of other web sites that provide wonderful information. Just search the web ... I would like to provide the links but need permission.
