Okay, so today I decided to mess around with creating a simple website. I’ve been hearing about this “Martin Cabrera” guy, some kind of artist, and thought, “Why not try to whip up a basic page about him?” Nothing fancy, just a little experiment to see what I could do.
Getting Started
First things first, I opened up my trusty text editor. Just a plain, simple text editor is all you need to start. No need for those super complex web development programs just yet. Then I, you know, created a new file and saved it as “*”. The “.html” part is crucial, tells the browser it’s a webpage.
The Basic Structure
Next, I typed in the basic HTML structure. I remember this stuff vaguely from some online tutorials I watched ages ago. It’s like the skeleton of the webpage. We got the <html>, <head>, and <body> tags. It’s kinda like building with LEGOs, putting the basic blocks together.
<html>This is the container for everything.<head>This part has stuff the user doesn’t see, like the title that shows up in the browser tab.<body>This is where all the visible content goes – text, images, all that jazz.
Adding Some Content
Inside the <body> tags, I started adding some text. I just typed in “Martin Cabrera” as a heading, using the <h2> tag (because I figured an H1 might be too big, don’t want to be shouty). Then I added some simple stuff, and added paragraph using “<p>” tag. I didn’t really know much, so it was kinda generic. Just wanted to see words on the page, you know?
The Realization
After I saved the file, and, opened it in my browser. And there it was! Super basic, sure, but it was my basic webpage. It displayed “Martin Cabrera”. It’s not going to win any awards, but it’s a start. I feel like I accomplished something, even if it’s just a tiny, tiny step into the world of web development.
I feel pretty good. It’s like, I made something from scratch. And it works! That alone is pretty satisfying.
