What do i need to get started?
To get
started you will need 4 things:
* Editor *
An editor is a place to type in your HTML code so that you can send the
file to your Web host.
This can be the editor that comes with your Web space. For example Angelfire,
AOL, Geocities, Tripod, Fortunecity and others.
You can also use a plain text editor, like Notepad in Windows.
There are also other editors that you can use that will basically do everything
for you, and you don't need to know any HTML at all.
You just drag the images onto your page, and the editor writes the code for you.
For example Microsoft Frontpage. This is the program which I use to create my
websites.

* Web space
*
Webspace is the place where they host your page (a place on the internet
where you save your site). You need
this so that other people can view your Website.
It's very important to find a good web host. For more information, names and
places where you can go, click here.
* Graphics
*
A site without graphics isn't beautiful. You can add your own style to your site
if you use the graphics you like.
You can find some links to sites where they offer free graphics by clicking
here.
You can also make your own graphics. This makes your site original. It makes it
a special place on the net. For more information on making your own graphics you
can click here.
* Ideas *
You need to
come up with something original to make a really great site, something that no
one else has done before. You have to be sure that your site is interesting for
other people. That's why I have so much things on my site, there is something
for everyone. Coming up with something on your own will help you get lots of
visitors.
Being original is definitely the key!!
