I come across this place were they were saying they got so much help from here because it was explained so that kids as young as 11 could understand and I come here to find people makeing sights like bada-bing bada-bow!
I read and read and I've had to take alot of advil let me tell ya. But i come across the part were she's explaing how you she uses notepad to make html. She even explained how to get there so I'm thinking....YES somebody understands this blonde....but than omg...I lost her completly! Can any one explain any of that in blonde language to me! if not dumbed....i'm gonna reread it over and over again incase it hits me * :idea: *

well what do you want to know? since what you are asking for is pretty large in area :)
With notepad you code your page. In a graphic program you design it. So you don't make html ;) html is allready made for you, you only need to pick the right codes, put them in notepad and save them as a .html file
So if you can tell me what you need help with, i don't care if the list is soooo long (because that's what we are here for ;) ), then i will try the best to help you out !
Love,
Mirna

okay....this is what her steps said to do...
Copy and paste the basic page set up HTML found on this page into Notepad like this:
(this is what was on the page sshe said to copy and paste)
How do I set up my page? Basic page setup is easy. You can copy and paste this code into your editor (to see what most editors basically look like before you've added anything click here) and just add your own stuff in between the <body> and </body> tags:
A basic document looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your page title goes here</title>
</head>
<body>
---Everything that appears on your page will be entered here, text, images etc.---
</body>
</html>
(back to the other page and to the next step)
Add your own HTML to the code you've copied and pasted with the instructions found in the HTML section of this page.
When you're finished, click on the "x" in the upper right hand corner of Notepad. A screen will come up asking you if you want to save the changes, choose yes.
After you choose yes, that you want to save the changes, this screen comes up. Name your file "index.html" because it will be the first page of your Web site, and then click "save":
Save the document in a folder that you can find again easily. You can repeat this process with your other pages, for example aboutme.html, funstuff.html etc. You can link the pages together using the instructions found in the HTML section of this page. Next we'll learn how to edit your new pages.
To edit your new pages, find the folder that you stored them in, then double click on the file you want to edit:
maybe it's just me and my computer....but that folder is g-o-n-e gone...bye-bye...have i just flipped my lid?? or what :crazy:

Okay, I see. maybe you should check "your documents". it should be in there, because my notepad automatically saves it there, if i dont choose elsewhere.

If you remember what you named it you could search your computer. Or maybe it's on your desktop?
Edit: Waittt... did you actually save it? If you didn't save it then it'll be gone :(

You know what you named it, right? Go down to the start button on your taskbar and right click it. It should give you a menu with some options, one of which is 'Search..'. Click this and a window should open with some stuff on the left side. It will either be a bunch of options (of which you want to choose Documents) or it will ask you for the name or part of the name of your file. Fill in what you know and search. It should find it. Make sure you're search the C:/ drive. :)
