As already recommended, it is a good idea to start with a guided
tutorial if you want to learn a new programming language.
To answer your question,
Is there someone that can help me understand this? does “content-type” mean this is where I >place whatever I want to say?
No, you set a meta attribute, which is basically the information for your browser
that this site has utf-8 encoded text.
I pasted it into Notepad and tried to view it as source, but nothing happened!
The line itself, although it is incomplete, is the source.
If you do plain html coding I recommend installing the html preview plugin,
can be done via plugin manager, which, as the name suggests, gives you a preview of your code. So you see what changes on the “site” when changing code instantly(more or less).
Simple example. After installing the plugin, goto plugins->Preview HTML and select Preview HTML. Open a new document, select HTML as language and put the following text into it.
<HTML>
<head>
<title>first html site</title>
</head>
<body>
show something
</body>
</HTML>
