Adding text to your page is simple: just start typing. Two things to keep in mind:
First, TeacherBridge (and any HTML page, for that matter), will only recognize one space at a time, regardless of how many times you hit the space bar. If I were to type
TeacherBridge is the neatest coolest thing ever!!
The text would be displayed on the web page
TeacherBridge is the neatest coolest thing ever!!
(There are ways of getting around this (as you can see in the example), but they will not be covered in TeacherBridge Basics. Finish the Basics tutorial first and then we'll talk.)
The second thing to keep in mind is that TeacherBridge will preserve line breaks. If you hit the Enter key, you'll create a line break. Typing
I Looooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooo
oo
oooooooove to write
code!
will look exactly as you type it.

Try typing some things into the Home page in your user directory to get a feel for how TeacherBridge handles spacing and carriage returns. When you're ready head over to Working with Text, Part Two.
