make sure you read this first.
after that, make sure you're on your neocities dashboard.
please also refer to this page here, as it very basically teaches you some HTML without having to fully explain it. i will be making use of it here. also make sure to consistently save your page and look for changes by pressing the view button! refresh a couple of times if this doesn't work. if it won't work at all, clear the browser cookies for neocities and log back in. it almost always works after that.
first off, on your neocities dashboard, make sure you change the grid view to the icon view. this makes it a lot easier to use, though you don't have to if you prefer the grid view.
next, click "edit" on "index.html". this is your main page.
then, go to the HTML cheatsheet and copy everything under the "page structure" text area (the one that also says "Boilerplate HTML Template" right above it).
go back to your index file and press "ctrl A ctrl V" to entirely replace the default page. this will just make it simpler to edit.
now, find the "title" part of your index code and make it whatever you want! this will be your website title that appears in your tab. you should 100% change this to whatever's relevent on any new page you create. look at mine right now! it's relevant!
next, find the part surrounded by "p" and "/p". this is a paragraph. it looks like what you're seeing right now. you can add "br" in your sentence to add a line break too.

this!
you can also add a header. i use it for putting the page title on the page itself, above the rest of the page contents. i use h1 but you can use h2 to h6 too. they look like this:
now you may notice something, and that's that these headings are not blue like all of my pages. that's because i didn't add a font variable to these.
you see how i added "/font>" before the regular text? that will make sure only the text surrounded by "font" is the chosen hex code, while anything not surrounded by it is your default text color. on the topic of text, how about you move to the next page, the style page.
