In this discussion you will use Microsoft NotePad to create a simple personal web page and post it as your initial post for all your classmates to see and respond to it. Begin by following the steps below.
1 - Creating a directory (folder) and your initial Notepad file
Create a folder on your desktop to save your HTML pages in (call it "My web page")
Start Notepad. Type the document tags below in your Notepad file.
This file will ultimately be your Homepage file.

2 - Now save the Notepad file to the HTML directory you created (the "My web page" folder)
Save your Notepad file in your HTML directory and name it index.txt.
Now close your index.txt file and then in the HTML directory folder rename the file index.html within the folder.
You can change the extension .txt of your Notepad file to .html to view the file and back to .txt to edit your progress as you start adding your HTML code.
NOTE: Opening your Notepad file with the .html extension will open it in the default internet browser installed in your computer to view it as a web page. Opening the file with the .txt extension will open the file in Notepad for editing.
Enter your custom title by typing it between the
and the for example:
My First Website2.JPG
3 - Add a heading that is bold & in italics
Place the cursor immediately under the
tag. Press Enter to create a line, if needed.
Type
(Heading 1), (bold), (italics) then your choice of heading name. For example: Your Name: This is my first homepage
After typing in the heading name, you must close the heading by typing (end bold),
(end italics),
(end heading 1).
Your finished heading line should look like this

4 - Add an image or picture
You may use any image or picture you like. If you don’t know where to get one, do Google search for a picture you like. Once you have found the image or picture you like, save it in the “My web page” folder.
Enter a new line under the Heading you created above and type the following line:
"the_title_of_your_image.jpg" (this name and extension needs to reflect the actual name ad extension
