Software for Writing Web Pages

To start writing web pages, we'll use a simple
text editor. That way, you'll be able to focus on
the code, without getting distracted by the menus
and buttons of a complex piece of Web Design

software.
If you use Windows, then Notepad is an excellent
text editor to use. To launch it, click on your Start
menu in the bottom left of your screen. Click on
All Programs, then Accessories. From the
Accessories folder, select Notepad:
The software should look like this, when it
launches:
Another good piece of software is the free
Notepad++. You can get a copy here:
Notepad Plus
Mac and Linux users have a number of text
editors available, but finding a free one that is as
good as Notepad++ is quite difficult. Bluefish is
OK, but looks a bit dated, especially for HTML.
You can check it out here:
Bluefish
The free Smultron is worth downloading, if you
have a Mac. You can grab a copy here:

For a basic text editor like Notepad, Macs come
with TextEdit, which you can find in your
Applications folder. You might want to play
around with the Preferences, though, or you'll end
up with Rich Text rather than Plain Text.
Another good free editor for the Mac is
TextWrangler. You can get a copy here:
Text Wrangler
