WEB PUBLISHING: HTML BASICS by Questy

Follow the instructions EXACTLY as explained here, or explained by your instructor.

Create a "working folder" on your hard drive per your instructor's instructions.

Open your browser (Netscape), you should have a desktop shortcut to Netscape.

Type in questy.com/learn/

Look for the section: Web Building Fundamentals

Click on link that says: Why learn HTML? , and you should be on page:
http://questy.com/learn/web0.htm

Clicking on the pointer at the bottom of each page will take you to the next page, go to the next page.

Look over http://questy.com/learn/web10.htm carefully read over before you start.

Open up notepad. (From your Start Menu, found in the bottom left corner, you will scroll up to programs, over and up to Accessories, and then over and down to notepad.) The reason we use note pad is we want a "text only" file, (or ASCII).

Type into notepad the minimal HTML document exactly as it appears below:

<html>

<head>
<title>A Simple HTML Example</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>HTML is Easy To Learn</h1>
<p>Welcome to the world of HTML. This is the first paragraph. While short it is still a paragraph!</p>
<p>And this is the second paragraph.</p>
</body>

</html>

Save the file (make sure it's text only) as sample.htm into your "working folder."
File >> Save As >> Save in (your "working folder.") >> name the file sample.htm
(File type should say all files *.*)

Open the file "sample.htm" in your browser
File >> Open Page >> Choose file

There you go, you've created your first "Web Page"

We will discuss basic HTML formatting in class. Clicking on the pointer at the bottom of each page will take you to the next page, go to the next page. Review the new few pages on formatting text after class on your own:

http://questy.com/learn/web12.htm Formatting Text
http://questy.com/learn/web13.htm Logical Versus Physical
http://questy.com/learn/web14.htm HTML Lists
http://questy.com/learn/web16.htm Linking
http://questy.com/learn/web17.htm Adding images
http://questy.com/learn/web18.htm Adding color

If you haven't already done so, bring a blank CD-R to class, or a handful of blank floppies for upcoming classes.
