I'm trying very hard to learn CSS but it is being... bad :P

I am follwing a basic tutorial I found. And the first code it this 

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>My First CSS WebSite</title>
</head>
<body>
CSS Website
</body>
</html>

And I save it as a html file and then open it in firefox. And it shows the code! Not the text but the code!!

Any help would be realy nice :D

Try removing that and see if it works...

So you know, i presume you used notepad to save the file. The one thing you MUST remember when saving a file is, no mater what extension you use, you must make sure that the "Save as type" box is "All Files"
