Before you begin coding, dependent upon what kind of computer system you own, there are different applications you can use that may already be on the system or one that you much download. For example, on a regular Windows computer, you need to use Notepad++. For MAC users, there are many applications you can download, but I prefer to use TextWrangler. Then there are applications such as DreamWeaver which is compatible for both computer systems. ***NOTE: Keep in mind that each code is dependent upon what you want your site to look like.***
This is the foundation code that is required on every document. When you save your document, save it as a html file. Ex. module5-2.html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>simple document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>a simple paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>

a connecting link in your XHTML to your CSS. You also have to classify in your CSS what XHTML page you're
designing for. Here's an example of a CSS layout:
