Your First Website! Part 2: Some HTML!
Hello! Okay, so now that you've decided between option one or two from the last post, you need something to type your HTML and CSS in. Yes you can use Notepad, but Notepad doesn't offer syntax highlighting, so I highly recommend Notepad++ for Windows and TextWrangler for Macs . I want you to create a file named "Website_1."

Okay! Are you ready to start some HTML?

Your First Website! Part 1
Okay today we will start off with beginning your first website, hence the title. 


First Off:


Ok so you have two options to store your website files:
      1. Run it off your computer (Free)
      2. Have it Professionally Hosted ($)


Running your site off your computer only allows you to view it and no one else can. Having it professionally hosted allows ANYONE in the world to connect to your website and view it.

If your starting out with HTML I would just go ahead and stick with Option One; although its that is only my opinion, but its also free on your computer, unlike paid hosting. If you do go with paid hosting, I suggest not going to some tiny little site, since they often offer cheaper prices. Also for example GoDaddy offers tech support with their hosting packages, which can come in handy with complex HTML questions.

Hello everyone! On this site I will post how-to do some simple HTML and CSS and also respond to your questions about them!
