Here's the editor. You have to type in a file name. It has to end with .html (or .htm, or it could be other things, like .js, or .somethingelse, but we're creating a new web page, using html, and that's done with an html file).
On the page you can see what are, if you understand them properly, a number of boxes. Look where it says "Untitled". That word is inside a "title" box. The box is made of two "title" thingies. The one on the left and the one on the right are a little different.
What goes in the title box is a word, which the browser displays in the TAB. You can replace "Untitled" with any word you like. You can also display a little picture in the tab, but I don't know how it's done.
The title box is in a head box, and the head box is inside an html box. There can be more than one box in a box, so the html box has a head box and a body box in it.
These boxes are just a bunch of garbage that's left over from another day, but computers still understand them, and it's a pretty simple way to organize things that still works OK, for very simple things. In order to make more complicated pages, we'll start with the boxes, but we'll expand into other kinds of things. (I think.)
