How to Make a Basic Website Using Notepad
Has anyone wondered
"how do I make a website out of a basic writing program?"
Well, obviously, not specifically...
Anyway, here I'll show you how to make a BASIC website using only notepad.
Supplies
For this project you will need:
-a big brain
-notepad
-maybe an HTML and CSS commands cheat sheet
-a lot of patience
The Start
Open notepad. Actually, open it twice. You'll be coding 2 files at the same time.
Now, save both files. One will be [file name].html, and the other will be [file name].css
Setting Up the HTML File.
On the HTML file, write on the first line ""
skip a line
line 2 -
line 3 - [name of page]
line 4 -
line 5 -
skip a line
line 6 -
line 7 -
[what you want on the first line. this is regular text.]
line 8 -
line 9 -
Now, edit where I put the messages in [ ]
EXPLANATION - - -

states the start of the header.
states what will show on the tab name</p><p> +other code in link will link the css stylesheet to the html for styles.</p>
ends the statement.
ends the header statement
states the start of the body text / code
is the start of the paragraph of the text that will show up when you run the html code.
you guessed it. it ends the body statements
signifies the end of the code.
Setting Up the CSS File.
on the first line of the CSS file, put ( @charset "utf-8"; )
line 2 - body
line 3 {background: [what you want as the background color]
line 4 - }
line 5 - h1 {
line 6 - font-family:bold
line 7 - }
You can add more variables, and change my notes in between [ ]
Well, That Was It.
If you want, you could use a better guide like

Also, beware that notepad does not show you where your code goes wrong.
That is why website coding software is recommended.
