<html>
<head>
<title>YOUR WEBSITE NAME</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Place your text in between the <body></body> tags. Any text placed outside of those tags will not appear in a user's browser window.

Click "File" and "Save As" in the program's navigation menu. Name your file, making sure you add .html to the end of it. Then select "Save."
