HTML files are nothing more than simple text files, so to start writing in HTML, you need nothing more than a simple text editor.

Notepad is a common text-only (plain text) editor. The resulting files�typically saved with the .txt extension�have no format tags or styles, making the program suitable for editing system files that are to be used in a DOS environment and occasionally, source code for later compilation or execution, usually through a command prompt.

Encode this in to your text editor:

Getting started with my first website.

Now create a folder called “html” wherever you like to save files on your computer and save the file as “myfirstpage.html”.

Be careful. It is important that the extension “.html” is specified - some text editors, such as Notepad, will automatically save it as “.txt” otherwise.

To look at your HTML files, it dont recommend an internet access, hence, just click it and it will appear in your monitor. Your default browser such as Google Chrome, Torch, Opera Mina, Safari, Internet Explorer and etc. will present your output.

If you’re serious about learning HTML, you should read through a tutorial such as this first, so that you at least have a basic understanding of what is going on.
