Set up a local web server
Tools like jsbin are helpful to play around with making small changes to simple webpages directly inside the browser, but when its time to roll up your sleeves, setting up a local web server so that you can make and fix mistakes rapidly is essential.
- Ensure you have a local web server running
Not sure? you can find information about setting one up here.
```
<html>
<title>my first website</title>
<body>
Hello world!
</body>
</html>
```
- Copy and paste the code snippet above
- Save it as a new
.htmlfile on your own machine. - Open the file in your browser via
http.
The exact location and name you use for the file will affect how construct the url (ie: [http://localhost/folder/file.html]).
