You can write your HTML by hand with almost any available text editor,
including notepad that comes as a standard program with Windows.
All you need to do is type in the code, then save the document, making
sure to put an .html extension or an .htm extension to the file (for instance
"mypage.html").

.HTM or .HTML File Extension?

When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html file
extension. There is no difference, it is entirely up to you.
