Here, I'll teach you how to do write it.

Make a text file that is named index.html (make sure it's not accidentally named index.html.txt or similar).

Inside, put something like this

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Oracle's Webpage</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Oracle's Webpage</h1>
<p>First paragraph go here</p>
<p>Second paragraph go here</p>
<p>And so on.</p>
<p>And here is <a href="https://midnight.pub">how to make links</a></p>
<h2>You can also have sub-headers</h2>
<p>And more paragraphs</p>
</body>
</html>

Good luck.

Yeah, this will definitely get you started. You should be able to create this in any basic text editor; Notepad will do the job if you're on Windows, but Notepad++ is even better once you've gotten some experience.

@pink2ds didn't provide any styling in her example; if you want to make web pages fancier you'll need CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) as well as HTML.

Mozilla has more detailed tutorials if you're interested.

Also, if you're on a desktop and go to websites that aren't mainly JavaScript apps, right-clicking and selecting "View Source" will let you see the markup used to build pages.
