"Begin by opening up the program Notepad and working through the following basic but fun tutorial for a step-by-step guide to writing html. Don't forget to save your html document as .html, because Notepad might want to save it as a text file:

So, you want to make a Web Page! by Joe Barta is where you will begin your html journey! It has 26 lessons but they are all short and broken into easy steps - its a great tutorial and I am sure you will have fun writing your first web page. When you have finished your page, you may consider playing around with the content - can you make changes to your pages content that may be useful for an Internet Basics related help site? Your list could contain helpful sites, or helpful hints? Make it brief though as your time will be put into the tutorial, the skills it has to teach you and reflecting upon your experience"s."

Wow! I loved this task and I had so much fun, maybe too much fun. What a sense of achievment creating a page from scratch with just words (and a few symbols).



First of all here is the page:

The icons on the left side of the page (curtin uni, Blogger, Skype & pagetutor.com) all work & click through to their respective sites. The ladybug icon is an email me link.

I probably spent much longer on this than I should have but I just couldn't stop - Many things were removed/replaced before I ended up with the above image.

HTML was much easier than I thought it would be and I think I'd like to explore it more.
