1. A computer
2. For Windows: Notepad. For Mac: TextEdit. Both of these come with the computer.
The Skills Required:
1. Know how to make a word document and save it.
What you need to know:
1. If it is inside < > it will not appear on your website. If it is inside them it is called a tag. The tags control how the webpage looks and what is on it.
Step #1 First open either Notepad or TextEdit. It will work in Microsoft Word or Pages but it's more complicated and Notepad and TextEdit work just as well.
Step #2 Type <html>. You always put that at the beginning, no matter what other code you have.
Step #3 Hit return and type <body>. Hit return again and type <p> (whatever you want to be on your website) </p>. You put a slash when it's the end tag.
Step #4 Hit return again and type </body>. Hit return again and type </html>.
Step #5 If you are using TextEdit click Format and click Make Plain Text. Click Save As. Where you name the type (whatever you want).html.
Step #6 Open it and if you did it right it will open in your default browser. It will not be on the Internet unless you sign up for a hosting plan which costs money per month. But it is a cool trick to impress your friends. If you get good you could make a website on the Internet if you wanted though.
