Very Recently, I started learning about how to build a web page. Before that, I couldn't have been much more intimidated by the whole idea. I was sent the URL for a wonderful web site at the end of October, and followed the links from there to total addiction!

By the end of the first day I had one page up on a site with free web pages, and started looking everywhere for information on how to do a link to a second page. The search for that one little command started me on a great adventure, and I was completely fascinated by it all before I ever found that information.

There are great sources of information on the web for learning about building web sites from learning to crawl to all of the flashiest tricks you can find... and what you can't find in a lesson, you can quickly learn how to grab from someone else's page.

These are some great resource pages for information on HTML and page design:

If you're not in a big hurry to learn how to build a page on your own, there are programs available that will do most of the work for you, and on many of them, no knowledge of HTML is needed at all. Below are some of the ones available, and most are shareware or freeware.

Neither of the above are neccessary for the most basic of pages. There are many places on the internet where you can get free web pages. Most of them make it possible to click on the color scheme you want, type in a couple of things, and voila`! you have your own Home Page!

This is a great way to start, because they allow you to continue making changes and improvements to your page as your comfort level grows and most have a large index of free images for members' pages. So whether you use an HTML Editor program, write your own, or want it done for you, the next step is to get it onto the internet and introduce yourself to the world:
