Step 5
Now you're ready to insert the formatting tags in your own document.
Remember to start your document with <html> and end it with
</html>. The "title" that you type between the
tags <title>...</title> will appear at the very top
of the browser window when your page is being viewed. This title
might be, but doesn't have to be, the same as the header at the
top of your page.
Step 6
Now it's time to see how well your formatting has worked. Save
your text document (Remember: "Text Only," and the file
name should end in .html or .htm) and go back to the browser.
Under the File menu, select "Open File..." or "Open
Local...". From there you should be able to find your document's
name and click on "Open". Your document will appear
in your window, looking like a real live Web page!
Don't be discouraged if there are some problems at first. HTML
formatting requires a lot of attention to tiny details. If something
doesn't look the way you expected, make a note of it and go back
to your text document to adjust it. Then save the document again,
go back to the browser, and click on "Reload". You'll
probably have to go back and forth like this many times before
your page looks perfect to you.

After you have put your page up on a server, how will anyone
find it? Unless they know about your page already -- and know
the exact URL! -- they won't be able to visit it. Here are some
ways you can give people a roadmap to your location on the information
superhighway:
Find some other Web sites that are related to your page in some
way. They might be sites that deal with the same topic or are
published by students your age. Write to the people who maintain
these pages and ask them to check out your site. If they like
it, they might add a link to your page on theirs.
Register your site with a search engine such as Alta Vista, Lycos,
WebCrawler, or Yahoo. Once you've added your URL to one of these
databases, people who are interested in the general topic of your
page will get a listing of your site when they do a search. For
example, in Yahoo, navigate through their categories until you
get to the one that best suits your page, and then click on "Add
URL." You'll be asked to provide the title of your page,
its URL, and a comment or short sentence that describes what's
on the page. In your comment, try to include words that you think
an interested person might type in as key words when doing a Yahoo
search. "Jupiter facts and images" or "Book reviews
by middle school students" are examples of good comments.
