OK, in the first part of this guide, you learned how to create a simple webpage with HTML in a text editor. Now we're going to add a simple navigation menu and the "subpages" to create a real, bona-fide, webSITE.
Step 1. Anywhere between the body tags of your website, add the following:
Navigation Menu:HomePage 1Page 2Step 2. Now you need to make 2 copies of your homepage, which you will then rename and turn into your website's subpages. You can highlight the index.html file and press Ctrl-C to copy and then Ctrl-V twice to paste it two times. Alternatively, you can hold down the Control key while clicking and dragging the index.html file, just as if you were going to move it, but it will create a clone of your file instead. Do this twice. Now, rename these two new files as page1.html and page2.html.
Step 3. In your text editor, use File > Open to open one of the new subpages. Change the body text from "This is the homepage" to something like "Welcome to Page 1!" It doesn't matter what, as long as it's different. Save it. Repeat for page 2.
You're done! If you open your index.html file with your web browser, you will see the navigation menu, and you can click on any of the links to navigate around your site, including going back to the home page.
Now, I know what you're thinking! "This looks like crap." Well, this was only a primer. Stay tuned for part 3, where you will learn where to get good looking websites already created for you that you can then edit just like you did in this course.
