I tried to save a page source for yahoo.com but it was too long now. I last did this in the 1990s

I wanted you to see what a page source for a big search engine actually looks like but it was too long now to do this effectively.

So, if you want to do this for yourself to see any page source for yahoo.com or CNN.com or any internet page on earth  this is what you want to do to look at the code(if you are in google chrome):

It is one of the ways to teach yourself what different code does in HTML or compatible languages.

However, it might be helpful to talk to someone proficient at HTML and other languages so you can at least ask them some questions or likely you are going to be confused or wondering what is going on on many different levels unless you are already familiar with HTML and similar computer online languages.

Here is how to do this in a Google Chrome Browser:

I was experimenting to see where you get "Page Source" when you are in Chrome

Basically what I found was that at the top of your Chrome browser template is along the top:

if you have have a mac is first on the left a picture of an apple with a bite out of it.

Next in big letters it says "Chrome" (going left to right now) next it says "Edit" which is the most important function key if you are blogger who quotes things like me from other sites. (But you have to somehow give them credit for what they did by putting up either a URL or a word button to give them credit so any readers you have are able to trace the pieces of the article or the article back to their source to avoid being accused of Plagiarism anywhere on earth.

after "Edit" is "View"

View I found out in Chrome is where you are going to find "Page Source" or the code that displays the page you are on.

First click View and then go down to "Web developer" and click on that.

Then slide to the right to "View Source" which will give you the HTML based computer code which displays the page you are presently viewing in that window.

If you want to work in HTML or similar based languages then you might be interested in the next button down in "View" which is "Developer tools".

And then finally if you want to work with Javascript (knowing that it might have security problems) you can also work in "Javascript Console".

This is all available in Chrome which is a Google Based Browser.
