How
To Create A Web Page
I Learned How to
Create a Web Page - So Can You!
Basically, a website is just
a collection of Internet pages, right? Well, there
is a little more to it but designing
a web page is the
starting point to good web design. Let's get
started. Have you ever heard the saying that you
cannot teach an old dog new tricks? I have heard it
often and never paid much attention to it.
Now that I am getting older
and have had to learn how to use a computer to keep
up with my job I have greater appreciation for the
concept that the saying was implying. I don't know
why the idea of having a webpage appeals to me so
much but I am simply fascinated by the way the
Internet works.
The Overwhelming Confusion
Of "Web Talk"
I have always been quite
quick to pick up on new concepts. I learn things
quickly, however I felt like the information
services staff were speaking a different language
when they were explaining different aspects of the
computer program I was to record my case notes
on.
My First
Computer
A year and half ago my
husband and I took the big plunge and bought a home
computer. Neither one of us knew anything about
computers other than the information we entered as
part of our job. We also had email at work so we
knew the basics about it. We had our system set up
and purchased Internet access.
For the first time I was
exposed to the ability to surf the Internet without
the rules and restrictions placed on by my
employer.
Everyone Seems To Know How
To Create A Web Page
I was fascinated by the
number of my relatives and friends that had their
own websites. These were people that did not have
any more computer training than I had. I decided
that it would be fun to have a page to direct
people to with updates on our family.
I learned how to create a web
page by following the simple directions on-line
from a web hosting company. I had no idea that
there was such a thing as a web host or creating a
domain, doing an ownership search or any of those
things until I started looking into our own page.
The great thing was that the
entire process took less than an hour. In that time
I learned how to create a web page registered my
domain name and began adding to the site.
Imagine The Surprise I Had
For My Husband When I Showed Him My Web Page
Design
My husband was out of town
the day I started playing around with this. I knew
he would be surprised that I had figured out how to
create a web page for our personal use. I posted
information on how each member of our family was
doing.
I scanned some of the
pictures from our recent vacation. I then emailed
our friends and family members with the address for
our site. I was quite proud of this accomplishment.
I told my husband that I felt like an old dog that
had just learned how to shake hands.
So, if you find yourself in
the same predicament as I, then I hope this article
gave you some inspiration about the facts of
website design. If I can learn how
to create a web page
so can you! All you have to do is to start from the
beginning, take is slow and learn from the experts.
I expect to see you online with your own website
soon!
