help please

This may be the dumbest question for me to ask and may make you people hate me more (Like I care) but is it possible to use HTML in wordpad?? I was thinking to do writing reports for school and such under HTML but if I do it on a website they'd think I playgerised. And the address being on it would make it look annoying..

Do you mean Word or Wordpad? You can do HTML formatting in Word, though you don't actually have to code anything. Wordpad is just a standard text editor, so with it you can type HTML code and save it as a .html and have it show up in a browser.

So if I save it as an .HTML file it will show up??

Couple things for ya when making an html document with notepad(and wordpad).
**instructions are written with windows in mind - as I will venture to guess that is what you are using :)**

1: open any folder on your computer and click tools -> folder options.
2: on the top tab click the view option. This will bring up a buncha checkboxes.
3:uncheck the box that says "Hide extentions for known file types"
**note be careful now, as just by changint the text after the period (ie .html) you can change how a file is treated.**

4: Open wordpad/notpad
5: Make sure that you never save any information as rich text format (rtf)
this will greatly screw up your Html document.
6: Write your html document
7: Save your file as an .html edtention (index.html being the traditional
base page)
Now you should be able to go to your browser and file->open your page and voila.. done!

edit: BTW if you want a free html editor this one is sexy: EVRSOFT FIRSTPAGE :love: There are better ones, but that tool is best for novice level.

Here are my tips on good html:
Don't use table based layouts
Practice W3C standards (www.w3c.org)
Learn CSS and love it
Use firefox to test your html/css layouts - it actually obeys standards!
Don;t use Java script :D (purley my prefrence)

Good luck! :D
