Go ahead and open a new file. You can do this by clicking on File > New File or using Ctrl+N (Cmd+N on macOS). Save it right away as index.html to keep things organized. Just hit File > Save As....

Now, open up your new index.html file. Here's a quick boilerplate to get you started—copy this in:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My First HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    <p>This is my first webpage.</p>
</body>
</html>

Remember to save your progress as you go with Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on macOS).

Let's make it your own! Change the text inside the <h1> and <p> tags to something unique to you. For example:

<body>
    <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
    <p>I'm learning how to build webpages!</p>
</body>

Don't forget to save again!

Open the folder where you saved index.html. Double-click it to open in your web browser and check out your work.
