This is a tutorial on how to make a simple page with links to all your favorite websites so that you can go immediately to them without retyping their address.

1. Open Notepad.

2. Type in: (without quotes)<html>, and then </html>. You can put a paragraph break or two in between those tags.

3. Next, type in <a href="url of website">. Where it says "url of website", put in the address of the webpage you want to go to when you click it. (You still need the quotation marks).

4. Finish this first link with what you want the link to say on the page (i.e. "Facebook", "MySpace", "Google", etc.) and a closing </a>

There, that was easy! It doesn't make a very appealing webpage, but you can enhance it later. You can copy and paste everything from the <a href=""> to the </a> over and over as many times as you want, replacing the webpage address and name. It helps if you continue adding paragraph breaks (a.k.a ENTER) after the >'s to make it clearer. Also, you can place a <p> after each one to show paragraph breaks on the finished website.
