Step 2: Write Content

Look at the HTML notepad template and locate these tags:

<title></title>

These are "Title tags" - The title of your page will be written here.

Now simply type: "My Home page" between the tags like so:

<title>My Home page</title>

Next, look for at the HTML notepad template and locate these tags:

<body></body>

These are "body tags" - all your content is written between these tags.

Now simply type: "My million dollar website!" between the tags like so:

<body>My million dollar website!</body>

If you want, type as much as you want here. Just make sure all you type is in between the <body></body> tags.You'll see how important tags are as we progress - think of them as "bookends" that frame content within your web page.
