Disclaimer: this tutorial mostly serves to get you set up with a place to put your content. the next tutorials in this series help more
with showing you how to actually get that content on the page. so bear with me here.
okay thats enough screwing around im going to write a tutorial in here
if you are making a website by scratch then you are going to primarily be working with HTML and CSS in the beginning. DONT BE AFRAID OF THEM KIDS ON NEOPETS USED TO MAKE PAGES WITH HTML+CSS ALL THE TIME
INTRO TO HTML (AND EVENTUALLY CSS): https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
NOW YOURE LIKE OKAY EPIC I KNOW ALL CODE EVER BUT I HAVE NOTHING TO CODE IN WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? the go-to text editor for starting out is Notepad++ and on god i never stopped using it i mean its a fucking text editor okay it gets the job done DSAJKFDHDSAFJKA
NOTEPAD++: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
colorcode your code by choosing your language
have your html files default to open in your browser. this is how you run them. when you want to edit them, open them in your text editor.
NEXT UP YOU NEED A PLACE TO HOST YOUR WEBSITE (AS IN, PUT IT ONLINE). IM A BIG LUNATIC ABOUT NEOCITIES BECAUSE I WAS A LITTLE BABY WHEN GEOCITIES WAS AROUND AND I NEVER GOT TO EXPERIENCE IT MYSELF. SO IM JUST IMPLICATING ALL OF YOU IN THIS WISH FULFILLMENT SCENARIO HERE. but seriously its a free hosting service that lets you use html + css + javascript?!!??!!?!? but you dont know about that yet shhh!!!
there are paid hosting services that allow you to use serverside languages like php but thats a discussion for NOT THE BEGINNERS TUTORIAL BYE.
