Crafted My First Webpage

2010

In 6th standard, during computer class at school, I wrote my first lines of HTML and CSS. The computer lab filled with Windows XP machines became my creative playground every week.

It was just a simple page with my name and a casual introduction - nothing fancy, just inline CSS styling a basic HTML file. But seeing my words appear on the screen exactly as I coded them felt like magic. The teacher showed us how <h1> made text bigger, how <p> created paragraphs, and how style attributes could change colors.

That moment when I opened the .html file in Internet Explorer and saw MY webpage - that's when I realized: I could build things that lived inside computers. This wasn't just using software anymore; this was creating it.
