Intro to Web Publishing

Exercise 0 -- a very simple HTML document:

  1. Open a web browser, e.g., Internet Explorer
  2. Open a text editor.
    • Windows users: try Notepad
    • Mac users: SimpleText works well; use "Find" to locate it
  3. Paste or copy the following text into your text editor:
    <html>
    <head><title>My Test Page</title></head>
    <body>
    this is a test.
    </body></html>
  4. Save your file on the hard disk (perhaps in the C:\Guest folder) as test.html.
  5. In the web browser, open the file you just saved. (Hint: look at the File menu for "Open Page..." or "Open..." then browse your hard drive to find your file).
