Alright so for my class CSIS 1010 we have been messing around with HTML and what not. It's an online class so it's hard for me to get any true teaching i'm pretty much trying to self teach it to myself.
My main problem is I don't understand the <!DOCTYPE and url nonsense for making up a webpage. Because of that when I attempt to open my project up in internet explorer it just shows me my notepad page instead of a website.
I hope that all made sense and if anyone can explain how i'm supposed to do this that would be great!! If you could explain it in simple terms that would be even better :P
 
You need to save your notepad with .htm or .html at the end, then you can view it in your browser. EX: myfirstwebpage.html then open it up...

Here's how your notepad should look (the basics)

----
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html><head><title>text you want goes here</title></head>
<body>
ALL THE OTHER STUFF GOES IN HERE. Mail me if you have any questions. ;)
