Lesson One: Entering the HTML and Linking to CSS
- Make a folder on the c: drive named historytree
- Open Notepad and add the following text (actually typing the text is recommended.) Practice with Dance Mat Typing
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>The History Tree Mission Statement</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mission.css"> </head> <body> <h1>The History Tree Mission Statement</h1> </body> </html> - When you are confident that your code is correct: Click File, Save As and save your file in the c:\historytree folder as mission.html.
