Opening up Notepad and editing raw HTML can seem confusing and chaotic if you have no experience writing to web pages. Bear with it, you'll get used to "selective" searching and soon you'll identify the tags you are specifically looking for.
We are going to add content in a few SPECIFIC locations within the HTML template ONLY. That's the key to making this work.
Step 1. Open index.asp
- Navigate to C\:your-folder-name\index.asp
- Right mouse click on the file - open with notepad
Step 2. Add title
Your notepad template with HTML should be open
- Find title tags toward the top of the page<title></title>
- Type in the title of your page
- It should look like this:<title>My Web Title</title>, of course name it anything you want...
Step 3. Add website name
Your notepad template with HTML should still be open...
- Find this tag toward the top of the page<!--START Add your website name-->
- Directly after this tag see the <h1> tag
- Type in your domain name
- It should look like this:
<!--START Add your website name-->
<h1>www.yourwebsitedomain.com</h1> - Don't worry about the code after the </h1>, leave it intact - do not alter it.
Step 4. Add main header
- Find : <!--START Main Header - PLACE Main header here-->
- After this START tag , find the h1 tags - <h1></h1>
- Type in your header
- It should look something like this:<h1>Fuel Saving Tips</h1>
Step 5. Add tagline for page
- Find title tags toward the top of the page
<span class="author"></span> - Type in a short description of what your page is about
- It should look something like this:<span class="author">"How to create gasoline out of everyday household items.."</span>
Step 6. Add paragraphs
The body of the page will no doubt be paragraphs that's where the "meat" of your information is
- In between any : <p> </p> tags you can write as much as you need.
- if you need more paragraphs simply create new tags and write text in between them
- New paragraphs always create a line break
- You can have as many <p> </p> tags with content as you want or need.
Step 7. Optional sub headers
You may or may not want to precede a paragraph with a sub-header. If you want to define a sub topic within your page use the h2 tag for the sub header:
- Type : <h2> </h2>
- Type in your sub header
- It should look something like this:<h2>Least Fuel Efficient Cars</h2>
Step 8. Save your Web page
When you are all done with your changes, once again, save the page as
index.asp in the directory - C\:your-folder-name\
*Keep in mind! This process above is how you create all the pages for your website. The only thing different will be the title, and the file name you choose to name your page.. ie..newpage.asp. The content you place between the tags for each page is exactly the same for every page. Once you learn the basics of adding content you'll feel more and more comfortable editing HTML - and you'll be able to get your idead online quickly.
