You
don't need special software to create an HTML page (or to format
your eBay item description) - all you need is a text editor (in Windows,
that would be Notepad), a web browser and a basic working
knowledge of HTML. And basic HTML is easy!
PC
users: To start, we open a blank Notepad file. Notepad can
be started from the Windows Start menu at Programs:Accessories:Notepad
(fig. 1).
Fig. 1
You
should now see a Notepad* window similar to fig. 2.
All
of your input work for the rest of the lesson (in this case, your
eBay item description) will
take place in this Notepad file. * (Mac Users!: Substitute
Simple Text for Notepad)
