This is a grassroots, entry level tutorial.
You don't need any special web design software.
Your browser's View>Source command will open Windows Notepad,
and Notepad is all you need for your web pages.
This gives you total control over the editing process.
You won't have to buy, or learn how to use, any complicated software.
However...one of the thrills associated with creating web pages is graphics.
You'll wanna get yer hands on graphics programs soon!
There's a link to a great FREE graphics program
on the last page of the tutorial in the "A Brief Note on Software" section.
Of course, you will eventually want a digital camera.
