Creating a new blank page
Open a new file with your text editor (or your fancy dancy html editor) and copy and paste the code shown below into it.
<!-- Start Copy -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<TITLE></TITLE>
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<!-- End Copy -->
Save this file in your MYSITE folder and name it
default.html
Check to make sure that your save is ok. When you "double click" to open the file, it should display a blank web page. (If it opens the code you copied you probably saved it as a .txt file instead of an .html.) If it is blank CLOSE IT. You are ready to go to the next step.

Setting File Extensions
Even though you are working with a plain text editor which saves files as .txt by defalut, you can change the extension simply by adding it to the end of the name of the fila when you save it.
Instead of just saving default, which automatically creates a .txt file, Save it as default.html. It then becomes an html file, which is viewable with any web browser.
