My HTML in Notepad++

Here is my first .HTML file in Notepad++:

Notepad++

I chose Notepad++ as my text editor. I downloaded it here. Based on what I have read and the comments on the discussion page, Notepad++ seems to be my best option. I also took into account my computer, operating system, and my current skills in choosing Notepad++.
I found Notepad++ a very simple program to use and operate. It has a basic layout and is easy to understand. I am quickly learning the different tools available on this program, and am satisfied that I chose it. It will be a valuable tool to have in my arsenal while I am learning HTML and webmaking.

Handwritten HTML- Done!

I just finished my handwritten HTML task. Sorry for the picture quality, I took it on my phone since I don't have a camera.
It took me 7 attempts to get it perfect, then I practiced it a few more times. It was a bit frustrating and confusing at first, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I can't do it all by heart, but I am beggining to understand how it works.

Challenge #2

Why I Joined The School of Webcraft

I recently joined The School of Webcraft in order to further my knowledge of the web. Of course, I know how to get around on the internet. I can even do things online that make my parents think I'm Bill Gates. However, the extent of my internet know-how is limited to surfing my favorite websites.
I found myself wondering, how do websites work? How are different pages made? What is HTML?
Wanting to learn more about this fascinating phenomenon, I did what anyone else would do- I Googled it. I browsed a few different sites before I realized that the best way to grasp theses ideas would be to actually learn how to do these things myself. That lead to another google search, which directed me to Mozilla Drumbeat, and subsequently to The School of Webcraft and Webmaking 101.
So here I am, with my own blog, telling the story of my journey. I hope this is the first of many posts, and many websites. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog, and for all of your support. Please leave comments, suggestions, questions, ideas. Or you could just say hi. Check back again soon for more.

First Post

Hi everyone. This is my first post on my first blog. I'm fairly new to this so I'm still learning how this works exactly. I apologize if I am boring, but I promise to get better with time. Follow closely, more exciting posts will follow soon.
