In
this first lesson, you will get a brief presentation of the tools you need to
make a website.
What is needed?
Most
likely you already have everything you need.
You
have a "browser". A browser is the program that makes it possible to
browse and open websites.
Right now you are looking at this page in your
browser.
It
is not important which browser you use. The most common is Microsoft Internet
Explorer. But there are others such as Opera and Mozilla Firefox and they can
all be used.
You
might have heard about, or even used, programs such as Microsoft FrontPage,
Macromedia Dreamweaver or even Microsoft Word, which can - or claim that they
can - create websites for you. Forget these programs for now! They are not of
any help to you when learning how to code your own website.
Instead,
you need a simple text editor. If you are using Windows you can use Notepad,
which is usually found in the start menu under Programs in Accessories:
If
you are not using Windows, you can use a similar simple text editor. For
example, Pico (Linux) or TextEdit (Mac).
Notepad
is a very basic text editing program which is excellent for coding because it
does not interfere with what you are typing. It gives you complete control. The
problem with many of the programs that claim they can create websites is that
they have a lot of standard functions, which you can choose from. The downside
is that, everything needs to fit into these standard functions. Thus, this type
of programs often cannot create a website exactly as you want it. Or - even
more annoyingly - they make changes to your hand-written code. With Notepad or
other simple text editors, you only have yourself to thank for your successes
and errors.
A
browser and Notepad (or a similar simple text editor) are all you need to go
through this tutorial and make your own websites.
Do I need to be online?
You
do not need to be connected to the Internet - neither while reading this
tutorial, nor while making your websites.
If
you want to avoid being online while reading this tutorial, you can either
print it out or simply disconnect from the Internet while reading on screen.
You can make the website on your computer's hard disk and upload it to the
Internet when it is finished.
What's next?
Go
to the next lesson and read about HTML before the fun really starts in Lesson
3.

ReplyDeleteblоg! I haԁ a quick quеstion whіch I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Many thanks!
