How To Make A Webpage


For my science project I chose to create a web (internet) page, dealing
with science. This project consists of using a computer and a html editor to
create a page that can be found on the internet. The next paragraph will explain
how to make an internet page.

The steps to making a web page to post on the internet, is very easy.
Most web pages are made in a code called html, which is what I am using to make
my science web page. Html is an acronym for: Hyper Text Markup Language. The
html codes are very easy to use, and remember. If you want to spice up your web
page, you may want to use another code called, Java. The word Java is not an
acronym, it comes from its maker, "Sun Technologies', which is a tremendously
huge company that deals with web page making and the internet. Java enables you
to have those neat scrolling words at the bottom of your web browser, and the
other neat moving things that you may find in web pages around the net. Another
code to spice up your web page would be cgi. Cgi stands for: Common Gateway
Interface, it is used to submit information on the internet. You can get a book
at your local library that contains how to use html, java, and cgi. You now need
to select one of the many programs that allow you to make a web page, using html,
java, and cgi. Once you find this program, you may now start to enter your html,
java, and cgi coordinates. After long hours of work you may now test your web
page, depending on the program you are using, there is usually a button that you
may press that enables you to look at the web page you have made. After revising
and checking your web page, it is time to place it on the internet. To do this,
you may have to contact your internet provider, and ask them if they allow their
customers to place internet documents on their world wide web server. Once you
have it on the net, tell all your friends about it so you can get traffic on
your page, and maybe one day, you will win an award for it, and all that work
will be paid off.

Every time I make a web page for something or someone, I always learn
new html, java, and cgi commands, because I always like to try new things, to
see if they will work, or to see what they will do. When I made this web page, I
learned how to do different things all at once, which I had never done before.
Making web pages are fun for the people who are experienced with web page making,
and for people who are very computer literate.
