neocities html tutorial

about me

My name is Lukas. I am no teacher, but I have been programming quite a bit. I work in the games industry as a backend/online game developer. I have taught game programming so hopefully I am not too bad at explaining things!

Let's create our first web page!

Weather you are creating a web page for your very first time, or if you have dabbeled in web development before, this guide should help you create a simple page, with no prior coding experience. Let's get started!

The html file

Head over to your neocities dashboard and open the file browser. If you just created your account it might only contain a file or two. But we can ignore those and start by creating a new one. Since no one knows anything about my website I think it's pretty fitting to create a page to introduce myself. I'll create an "about me" page.

In the file browser I create a file called "about-me.html" making sure to add the ".html" part. This is how we create a page, and not just another text file. Neocities will understand this and fill out our page with a template to help us. How nice!

css

this is what css looks like

/* 
  here is some sample code! don't worry, 
  you will understand it in a minute!
*/
code {
  color: black;
}

/* TODO: wtf is this */
bug {
  display: none;
}
