Here is a numbered list; try doing what it says:
Do a "Save As" from the File menu and give the copy a new name. Make sure it ends with .html, and remember which folder it's in.
Open this template.html file with Notepad (see the Accessories folder under All Programs). Notepad is pretty lame, but it's on all Windows computers. We'll find you a better text editor to use.
Pick Open from Internet Explorer's File menu to open up the copy of template.html that you saved.
Change some text around, save the file, and pick "Refresh" in the browser (the little icon with two green arrows) to see what your changes did.
Repeat step 4! Try changing the title near the very top, too, but for now, ignore everything else before the body part starts. The parts between the curly braces (like this: {}) is CSS. We'll talk about that after you're more comfortable with HTML.
This paragraph has a link to my home page. This part is bold, this is normal, this is italic.
Here is a picture:
The mouseover text appears when you hold your mouse pointer over the picture.
This is the last paragraph. After you make a few files, we can put them at www.snee.com/madeline and you can have your own website. Try going there now and then pick Source from the View menu. You should recognize much of the HTML that you see.
