Welcome to my home page.
</body>
</html>

Copy and paste the code into an editor and you have created a very basic web page.

If you are using Windows Notepad name the page index.htm and save to:

C:\My Web1

All other pages save to:

C:\My Web1\pages

Lets start with the most important tags and work our way through the page construction.
   
<html> HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Each web page uses markers, called tags, and all elements in a web page are contained within the opening and closing html tags. The tags are not case sensitive and can be typed in upper case, lower case or a mixture of upper and lower case. Even so it would make sense to be consistant with your use of case throughout the web page.
<head> Next the head tags. Elements between the head tags are not visible on the web page.
<title> </title> My Home Page describes the title tag and is completed within the head tags.
</head> Completes the head element. Notice the / sign which ends all tags.
<body> All text and graphics elements between the body tags are visible when the web page is viewed in a browser.
</body> Completes the body element.
</html> Completes the web page.
