HTML for beginners
Lesson 2
Adding Body

Nobody wants to go to a website to see blank pages right? We will have to add some material to the body of the page, in other words, between the "body" tags of your document.

Do you still have your index.html file open in notepad? If not, open your index.html file in notepad. There are several ways to do this.
- You can open "notepad", select "file" then "open...", go to the directory where you saved your index.html file, change the "files of type" to "all files", and select your index.html page.
- You can open "notepad" and "file manager", then click on the file in "file manager" wherever you saved it, holding your mouse button down, and drag it into notepad.

Now add the red text to your web page.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
This is my first web page.
</body>
</html>

Now save and launch your edited page and you will see something besides a blank screen.

Now add the new red text below, then save and launch your page and see what you get.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
This is my first web page.
My page is getting bigger.
</body>
</html>

What do you think you will see and what do you see?
