How to Edit Text in HTML Files

Introduction

This guide will help you make basic text edits to your website's HTML files. You can do this directly from this GitHub repository using GitHub's built-in editor.

Steps to Edit Text

1. Open the HTML File You Want to Edit:

   • In the repository, you'll see a list of files and folders.
   • Click on the file you want to edit (e.g., index.html for the homepage, contact.html for the contact page).

2. Edit the File:

   • After clicking the file, click the pencil icon in the top-right corner of the file view. This opens the file in edit mode.

   • You'll see a lot of code, but don't worry! Look for the text you want to change—it will be between <p>, <h1>, <h2>, or other tags. For example:

     <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>

     If you want to change "Welcome to My Website" to something else, just edit the text inside the tags:

     <h1>Edit the text</h1>

3. Save Your Changes:

   • You'll see a "Commit changes" section. In the "Commit message" field, describe what you changed (e.g., "Updated homepage title").
   • Click the "Commit changes" button.

Important Notes

• Backup: Always double-check before saving your changes. It's easy to undo mistakes, but it's better to avoid them.
• Formatting: Be careful not to delete any tags (like <h1>, <p>, etc.), as this might affect the page's layout.
• Contact for Help: If you're unsure about anything or accidentally delete something important, feel free to reach out to me.
