Creating an HTML page

Creating my first HTML page was easier than writing a code in a C or Java language.  The syntax of HTML is very simple to follow.  There are two common names for every header and footer with the difference of a backward slash in the latter.  For example, the beginning looks something like this  <body>  and the end looks the same with the backward slash inside the signs, for example </body>.  There is a similar syntax for title, paragraph, image and so on.
I am just starting to learn how to code and I realized that it comes with a lot of practice.  My first impression of creating the HTML page is that it is practically effortless.  The commands are self descriptive. 
I created my HTML page with in the Notebook program.  Many people suggested to use Notebook ++ to create an HTML page.  I don't have the Notebook++ installed on my computer so I did what I could with what I had.  Luckily it was a smooth and exciting  process and I look forward to making some more interesting projects.
