| | Something else you could do that you may find helpful is to click View/page source in your browser menu. This will show you how individual pages are coded.
Do this on a few different sites & you will see what is involved in programming different things for web pages. |

Making a website is really just as hard as you want it to be. Even basic pages are really simple, as I will now demonstrate: To start off with, all you need to do is write this in Notepad or something: CODE <html> Whatever you want to say here. </html> Then just type what you want to appear on the page where it says. That's your first page! Then you can start making it fancy by using colours and all that stuff. Here's some stuff to remember: CODE <html> Starts a Web page. </html> Ends a Web page. <br> Puts things onto the next line down. <hr> Makes a line go across your page. <color="red"> Makes words that colour. (Replace red with any colour. Not all colours work.) </color> Stops making words that colour.
Try it! It isn't hard!

Why not use a free content management system, they will give you the free templates to modify, you can add your own stuff later, saves alot of time than creating a template from scratch.

Hi there! Do not try to go too fast. I would recommend you to go slow and before you do anything else especially designing your webpages firstly just learn the simplest language of web that is HTML. I would like to recommend you pagetutor.com Firstly, just learn the simple code and then once you understand the code properly you can start using Frontpage (it comes with default installation of Microsoft Office in most of the versions) or Dreamweaver. Using any of those two designing software you can design easily but you must first understand the code itself. If one understand HTML php and others also can be learned on top of that and it becomes easier too. It took me about a week to master HTML from pagetutor.com and that's how I started some 4 years ago. All the best.

I created my first full website from straight html in seventh grade which would be... 12 or 13. I had done some stuff before that though.

I started doing HTML when I was 8. Didn't publish it, just made pages of old weather information. Of course the pages weren't valid or browser compatible (only knew about Internet Explorer back then). Basically, start with this code: CODE <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Stuff in Title Bar</title> </head> <body> <h1>Heading of Page</h1> <p>Paragraph</p> </body> </html>
That is your basic template for (X)HTML. Later on, you can add stuff to it like images, tables, etc. A good site to check out is W3Schools or Web Development Lessons. They give you easy instructions to design websites. I strongly recommend text-based editors, not WYSIWYG editors. Often, WYSIWYG editors produce code that is invalid or non-browser-compatible. A good editor is AceHTML Freeware. It gives some features that are valid XHTML and also you can find some scripts that are useful there. You can preview your page in there also (it looks like the IE version of the page). Get AceHTML Freeware on Download.com. Be sure to validate your HTML pages, you don't want them to be full of errors.

W3 schools is great. I got 2-3 HTML books outta the local library, some of them are really good and show you step by step how to put the code together. Some of the good ones have a list of all the HTML codes at the back. I suggest you get a book, everything is much easier and you dont have to be on the computer when your reading it. Also print out a sheet of all the HTML codes and mayby write beside them what each one does.

was masked to www.maliciousintent.net. My problem however is that no matter WHERE you are on the
