Building a web page is a step-by-step process.  No one enters the world of web design training automatically knowing HTML code or any other design format unless he/she is an absolute genius who invents code out of the top of their head!

If you're a beginner, relax.  This series of HTML tutorials will help you to become familiar with HTML, and you'll feel comfortable putting together your own web pages in no time.

What You'll Need for This Tutorial

*Notepad

Notepad is a writing pad on your computer system which allows you to create files
in plain text format (with no add-in codes).  Ready-made design programs almost always insert their 2-cents worth into your designing, which affect the coding of your web pages and can confuse the beginner who's trying to learn to read raw HTML code.  Design programs are great.  I use them.  But for learning HTML, notepad is best.

To open Notepad from your desktop, click on:

START>  PROGRAM FILES>  ACCESSORIES>  NOTEPAD


*Netscape 7.2 Version

This is a FREE browser that you can download.  You're not really downloading it for the browser, but for the free design program that's included called "Netscape
Composer".  Composer is used throughout this tutorial to test your code and see if it's working properly.  You can choose not to download Composer, but it is recommended.  It's a great program to have handy also, and it is used in our web course for beginners.
