A Quick Guide – How To Make Your First Page In HTML In Simple Steps?

If you want to learn how to design a webpage in HTML then let me tell you that this is no rocket science. Anyone with a will to learn something new can learn about it in a few weeks. However, if you are in hurry then I have got something special for you. In this post, I will guide you about creating your first ever webpage in HTML. All you need to do is to keep following my guidelines and by the end of this post, we both will have a brand new HTML webpage crafted with our own hands.
I will start with basic things to give you an idea about the components of an HTML webpage.
Tags
html tags
If you have seen HTML codes before you must have seen such brackets “<>” in those codes as well. The content that is present in those brackets is called tag. We will talk about tags later in this post when we will actually use them for creating our HTML page.
Structure of HTML page elements
The structure of the HTML page is defined with the help of these tags. Different tags have different functions like a <b> tag will make the text look bold. The word “Bold” without <b> tag will look like “Bold” but when we surround it with tags like “<b>Bold</b>”, it becomes “Bold”.
Let’s get down to designing our page now
Open your text editor (Notepad) and enter the following code. You can use notepad ++ and also dream viewer.
<html> = Opening of HTML codding
</html> = Ending of HTML codding
These tags tell the computer that we are going to design an HTML page and anything between both these tags will be HTML content.
There are two main parts of any HTML page the Head part and the Body part. The content in your head part will not be visible on your webpage because your enter information visible to search engines in that part. The Title of your webpage is also inserted in head part so search engines can find it easily.
The text that will be inserted in the Title element will be shown at very top of your web page. You should add a title manually because if you will not do so, the URL of your page will be shown instead.
The main part of your HTML webpage is the body section. The section is defined with tags <body> </body>. Anything between these tags will the content of your web page. Below is how a simple HTML page looks like.
<html>
<head>
    <title>My first HTML page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <b>Hello!</b>
    I hope you’re having as much fun reading this as I had writing it!
</body>
</html>
Save your webpage
The next thing that you need to do is to save your webpage. Since we are using Notepad to write our HTML code, we will go to files and then find “Save As” option. When your computer prompts you to give a name to the file then make sure to save it with proper extension. The right extension for an HTML page will be .html. You can give this name to your file “mypage.html” and then click on save as.
Seeing your Webpage
Of course, you will definitely want to take a look at how your webpage looks like right? Just go to the folder in your computer where you had saved that html file and double click on it. This file will open in web browser instead of notepad. Congratulation my friend, you have just created your very first HTML web page. This is just an easy method to create a simple home page in HTML. You can use other tags to create a good page and add more colours using CSS. I hope you have learned few things from it.

Use HOSTS File to Block or Redirect Unwanted Websites

The hosts file is one of the interesting and useful feature of both Windows and Linux operating systems that provides many handy options in addressing network nodes. For instance, you can use the hosts file to block annoying ads, pop-ups, banners, porn sites, or even redirect one website to another.
In this post I will show you how to play around with the hosts file to accomplish some of the above mentioned jobs.
Block Websites Using Hosts File

What is a hosts File?

The hosts file is just like any other computer file that is used by the operating system to map hostnames and domain names on to their corresponding IP addresses.
In other words, when you type “google.com” on your browser’s address bar, your computer will look for the hosts file to see if it contains the corresponding IP address for the domain name you typed (google.com). In case if no entry is present in the hosts file, the request is then passed on to the DNS (Domain Name System) server to obtain the IP address.

hosts File vs. DNS

When it comes to resolving the hostnames, the hosts file is given the first priority over the Domain Name System. In most cases, the hosts file remains unconfigured on the operating system and hence the DNS is used by the computer to resolve the domain names to their corresponding IP addresses.
However, if the hosts file is found to contain a valid entry for a given hostname or domain name, then this is picked up and used by the operating system.

Where is the hosts File Located?

Windows: In case of the Windows operating system, the hosts file is located at:
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
NOTE: In most cases this should be: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Unix/Linux: In case of Linux it is located at:
/etc/hosts

How to Block a Website?

To block a specific website, all you have to do is just add a new entry for that site in the hosts file. I would prefer to backup the original file and create a new one instead of modifying it. So, if something goes wrong, you can just delete it and restore the original one! Well, here is a step-by-step procedure on how to create a new hosts file on Windows:
  1. Go to “My Computer” and you should see the “Menu bar” on top. In case of Vista and Win 7, just click “Alt” to unhide the “Menu bar”.
  2. Now in the menu bar, click on “Tools -> Folder Options”. In the “View” tab uncheck the option that says: “Hide extensions for known file types” and click on “OK”.
Windows Folder Options
  1. Open a new text pad (New Text Document.txt) and rename it to: hosts. You will get a pop-up message with a warning. Just click on “Yes”.
    Please note that the renamed file hosts should not have any extension such as hosts.txt.
  2. Open the hosts file using the notepad. Now let us assume that you want to block the sites Facebook and Youtube on your computer. For this all you have to do is add the following lines to your hosts file:
    127.0.0.1       facebook.com
    127.0.0.1       www.facebook.com
    127.0.0.1       youtube.com
    127.0.0.1       www.youtube.com
    Each entry should be placed on an individual line. The IP address and the hostname should be separated by a space or a tab. In this way, you can block any given website by just pointing it to the IP address 127.0.0.1.
  3. Navigate to %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc. Here you should see the original hosts file, rename it to hosts_bak. Just copy and paste the new hosts file that you have created. That’s it. You’ve now successfully blocked those websites from loading on your computer.
    If you are using Vista/Win 7 you may have to take ownership of the original hosts file before renaming it.

How to Redirect a Website?

Suppose you want to redirect Friendster.com to Google.com, all you have to do is just add the following lines to your hosts file:
74.125.236.72       friendster.com
74.125.236.72       www.friendster.com
Here 74.125.236.72 is the IP address of Google.com. To find out the IP address of any given website, just go to command prompt and ping it. For example: ping google.com. You should get a ping response that displays the IP address as shown below:
Ping Test
From now on, whenever you type “friendster.com” on your browser, you will be redirected to “google.com”.

How does a hosts File work?

Whenever you block a website using the hosts file, you point it to the IP address 127.0.0.1 which in fact is the IP address of your own computer. In other words, the IP 127.0.0.1 points to your own computer and doesn’t exist outside.
So, whenever you type the URL of a website for which an entry is present in the hosts file, your computer will load the IP as 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual one and tries to establish a connection with this IP address (127.0.0.1) but fails. As a result the website doesn’t load at all.
The redirection of the website works by pointing the domain name of one website to the IP address of another website (as configured by the hosts file) instead of it’s original IP address. So, whenever you type friendster.com, it is pointed to Google.com’s IP address and thus, the Google page loads up instead of the actual page from friendster.com.

How to Block the Annoying Ads?

I have found a great solution to keep all the annoying ads, banners, pop-ups and other parasites at bay by using a pre-configured hosts called MVPS hosts file. This hosts file contains a long list of entries to block all those annoying ads and pop-ups that usually load while you are surfing the Internet. You can also receive regular updates on this to stay up-to-date. You can download MVPS hosts file from the link below:
If you are playing around with the hosts file and something goes wrong, just delete the hosts file itself and rename the original file from hosts_bak to hosts. This should bring back everything to normal. I hope you like my post after a long gap. Waiting for your comments. :)
