logician Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 I am just learning web design. After designing my first web page I am having trouble editing it, or making changes to the page. Can anyone give me some tips on how to do that? Quote

logician Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Posted August 22, 2011 How are you currently trying to edit the page? What steps are you following? I am sorry it took so long to reply. I left for work immediately after posting the question. I created the web page over a week ago. I tried to re-creation what I did, however, that attempt was not successful. To the best of my memory this is what I did: 1. I right clicked the desktop. 2. I selected "New" 3. When the menu popped up I clicked "Text Document". 4. I then started hand coding the page. 5. When finished, I saved the page using these steps: A) Clicked "File". Save As C) Saved document as "myfirstwebite.html. 6. It showed the page as it would appear without the html codes. Unfortunately, I have been unable to make any changes to the page. Again, these are the steps I took to the best of my memory. Quote

What you want to do instead is right click on the file, select "Open With..." from the menu that will pop up and select Notepad or your text editor of choice. If what you want to open the file with isn't listed, select "Choose Program" and choose the program you want to use to edit the file. Quote
