1. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. The Start menu will pop up.
2. Search for Notepad. Type in notepad to do so. You should see a list of matching results appear
near the top of the Start menu.
3. Click Notepad. It's a blue notepad icon at the top of the list of results. Doing so prompts
Notepad to open.
4. Click File. This is in the top-left corner of the Notepad window. Clicking it prompts a drop-down
menu.
5. Click Save As…. It's in the drop-down menu. The Save As window will open.
6. Click the "Save as type" drop-down box. This option is near the bottom of the window, and
should have "Text documents (*.txt)" written on it. Clicking it prompts a drop-down menu to
appear.
7. Click All Files. It's in the drop-down menu. This will allow you to save your file as an HTML
document.
8. Select a save location. Click the name of the folder in which you want to save your document on
the left side of the window. For example, to save your document on the desktop, you would
scroll up and click Desktop in the left-hand sidebar.
9. Enter a name and the "html" file extension. Click the "File name" text box, then type in
index.html.
10. Click Save. Doing so turns your current Notepad document into an HTML document. At this
point, you can proceed with setting up your webpage's structure. If Notepad inadvertently
closes or you have to come back to your document later, you can right-click the HTML file and
then click Edit in the resulting drop-down menu.
11. Add your webpage's language tag. The first tag you'll need to add to Notepad tells the rest of
the document to use HTML.
12. Add the "head" tags. These tags mark the beginning and end of the page title, which you'll
create in the next step. For now, just type <head> after the "<html>" tag, press ↵ Enter twice to
leave a space, and type in </head>.
13. Add page title to your website. The title, which is placed between "<title></title>" tags, goes in
the space between the "head" tags. This title dictates the website's name as it appears on the
browser tab.
14. Add the "body" tags. All of your webpage's code will go between these tags, which should go
below the "</title>" tag.
15. Close the HTML language tag. The last tag to go in your document will be a closing HTML tag to
signify the end of the page. Type </html> below the "</body>" tag to close the HTML tag.
16. Add your website's main heading. Type <h1></h1> in between the "body" tags, then type
whatever you want your webpage's main heading to be in between the "<h1></h1>" tags.
17. Add paragraph text to the page. Type in the paragraph tags, which are "<p></p>", and then
enter whatever you want to use as your paragraph in between the tags.
18. Force a paragraph break. If you want to add extra spaces between paragraphs or heading, type
<br> after the line's closing tag.
19. Add sections and formatting tags as needed.
Step 3: Download Filezilla and upload html file named index.html and picture file. Make sure the file
name of the picture matches what is in the html.
