First up, go into accessories of your start menu (assuming you're on a PC). Go into accessories and choose Notepad. If you can't find it (as is the case with this picture), go to step two. Otherwise you can skip to step three.
Can't find Notepad? Go into Search from the start menu and search for Notepad.exe. You should easily find it, as it's standard on all Windows platforms. If you still can't find it, well, you're screwed...
Write in some html code. Remember what we saw in "Your first html page" ? You can just cut and paste the code if you want.
Choose Save as from the file menu. Create a folder called "Projects". See the image below? See the button that's being pointed at by the big fat arrow? That's the create-a-folder button. I know, I know. You're not idiots; but still... I don't want a hundred e-mails a day asking me how to create a folder! OK, so now choose index.html as the file name. Select "All" from the drop down menu. There. You've just created an HTML file!
Open Internet Explorer ( or Netscape, or whatever). Choose Open from the File menu.
Click on Browse. Choose the file that you want to view (in this case, /Projects/index.html). click Open. Click OK. Now you're seeing you're page. OK so you don't see anything, but that's just because you haven't put any text or anything in your HTML. Click on Back to learn how to do that.
