Building a
Web
You need a computer to
house your web site.
The machine or server can be owned by you or another party. Besides,
the server needs the right kind of web hosting software and connection to
the Internet. If you do not want to pay for the enjoyment of the
services of web servers, you can search the Internet to look for free web
hosting services.
A web site can be as simple as a single .html
or .htm file with whatever content you want to present in it. You can create .html and .htm files with any
text editor like WordPad if you know HTML, which is a kind of
programming language to write web pages. Yet, you do not need to know
HTML before you ever start to create the files. A common word
processing software like Word enables you to write
a web page in the usual way you write a document except that you
have to save it in .html or .htm format. Of course, if you want to
insert hyperlinks and other more attractive multi-media components you will
need extra skills. Dedicated web page tools like
FrontPage and Dreamweaver provide you more sophisticated means. In addition, there are simple, easy and ready-to-use
web page editors on the Internet. While copying is a norm and
frequently allowed, to remain ethical to respect the patent rights of
authors cannot be any big obstacle at
all.
This web site is built principally with
FrontPage. Some part of the site is built using the online tool of
Geocities.
Often, the process of uploading your .html or .htm
files and other necessary files such as .jpg to the right place of the web
server is quite a demanding job. Be patient and learn from
experiences.
A simple
distinction between a .html and .htm file is that many web sites take "index.html"
or "home.html" and the like as the default home page of a web site;
otherwise, there is not much difference between the two kinds of files as
far as common people are concerned.
There are many different ways to build a web site.
Some are very simple; some are very complicated. Like most computer
users, you should be able to draw on your experiences in the website
building process. Make reference to whatever web site building manuals you can access. Explore the
various features of the web site building tools. If you try, you will be successful.
