This is the first in a series of XHTML and CSS tutorials, which can all be found at LearningNerd.com/xhtml-css-basics
Step 1:
Open Notepad
Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Open Notepad
There are many other plain text editors, but you should probably use a simple one like Notepad while you're still learning.
Notepad is the default plain text editor on Windows.
Step 2:
Save the File
Go to File > Save
Then save the file as filename.html for an HTML file or filename.css for a CSS file.
Be sure to surround it with quotes!
Step 3:
View the Web Page
To see your new web page, double-click on the HTML file. It'll open in your default web browser.
Here's the web page being viewed in Firefox. The HTML file only contains the text HTML stuff would be in here.
Step 4:
Edit the File
To edit the CSS file, just double-click to open it with your default plain text editor (like Notepad).
To edit the HTML file, right-click it and go to Open With > Notepad (or whatever editor you use).
Step 5:
Save the Edited File
After making changes to your HTML or CSS file, save it by going to File > Save.
And that's it!
The next part of this series will explain the basics of writing XHTML.
