[SOLVED] Can't even get started....

Hi,

I have looked into putting a very basic website for the very first time today. I found lots of very basic introductions to HTML that explain what it is and how to actually create something in HTML, such as a page that just says,

MY PAGE.

It involves copying and pasting, or typing some HTML, such as this:
<html>
<head>
<title>My big ole bad page!</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello Joe!
</body>
</html>

then saving it as .html, and opening in in a browser.

It should then just say:

Hello Joe!

Every time I do this, my browser just displays the code, and not the webpage, and I don't understand why.

I'm using a Mac, OSX leopard, TextEdit, saving as HTML, then opening it with firefox.

Where am I going wrong? I can't even get started.
