Introduction

This page will help you create a very basic web page. Although the result will be a page that is complete, you may want to add additional HTML to personalize the page for your specific needs.

This form will help you learn HTML if you view the source it generates for you. See below for more information on learning HTML.

How to Use this Form

See below for more detailed information on each field.

1. Fill in the fields below.
2. Select the "View Rendered HTML" button to see how your finished page will look. If you want to make changes or additions to your page, return to the form and make your changes.
3. Select the "See HTML Source Code" button to see what the HTML code actually looks like. This will help you understand the relationship between the HTML code and what appears on your page.
4. Select the "Download Source Code" to save the source code to your computer's hard drive. When the file appears on your computer, the default name will be "your_page.html." You will probably want to rename the file before placing it online.
5. Once you have saved your page you must "ftp" it to its destination point, most likely your unix or cord account. If you are using a Macintosh computer I am sorry, I mean you will probably use Fetch to ftp your file; if you are using an IBM or IBM clone you will probably use WS FTP to ftp your file. Use the settings provided by your ISP.
