When you've typed in the folder name, Enter twice to go into that new folder. Then name the file "home" and click on Save.

When you've saved it, you will see the file name and location in Notepad's document title.

• When your page is saved, the file icon = blue.

Then go to your webpage tab in Chrome, and click on the Refresh toolbutton, or use the keyboard shortcut F5.

Click between the TITLE tags and type out "firstname's webpage".
