If you have a web page created by someone else, you can edit the text easily. Here's how:
- Download your web page from your web directory to your computer. [how do I do that?]
- The name of the main page should be "index.html" or "index.shtml". Open this page in your favorite text editor. [what's a text editor?]
- At this point, it's always a good idea to save a copy of your file under another name (like "index2.html"), so if you make a mistake and can't figure out how to fix it, you'll have a backup.
- Look for the text you want to change. Go ahead and change it.
- Save your changes.
- To see your page before you publish it, fire up your web browser [what's a browser?], and point it to the page you're working on (for example, C:\my_documents\mypage.html)
- If you like how your page looks, upload it to your website. [how do I do that?]
- To view your newly edited page on the web, go to your URL (ie; http://www.yourdomain.com), and refresh (reload) the page by pressing the "reload" button, or by pressing F5 on your keyboard. That's all there is to it!
