In this blog,  we will be looking at web pages and experiment with techniques that you can try out on your own website. creating a web site  is easy and a lot of fun. Why I chose this topic? "Everything on the World Wide Web is based around web pages. A web page is a single document, similar to a word-processor document, which displays text, graphics and other active elements." according to mediacollege.com. By the time you finish reading this blog, you will be ready to start  your own!

Because you are sitting at a computer, you have a Web browser and you possess the desire to learn, you have everything you need to get started. You can learn HTML and experiment with your Web browser to find out how to create any kind of Web page you can imagine.

• Web page - A Web page is a simple text file that contains not only text, but also a set of HTML tags that describe how the text should be formatted when a browser displays it on the screen. The tags are simple instructions that tell the Web browser how the page should look when it is displayed. The tags tell the browser to do things like change the font size or color, or arrange things in columns.

• HTML - HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. A "markup language" is a computer language that describes how a page should be formatted. If all you want to do is show a long string of black and white text with no formatting, then you will not need HTML. But if you want to change fonts, and colors, create headlines and embed graphics in your page, HTML is the language you use to do it.

• Web browser - A Web browser, like Netscape Navigator or Google Chrome. A computer program or a software application that does two things:
• A Web browser knows how to go to a Web server on the Internet and request a page, so that the browser can pull the page through the network and into your machine.
• A Web browser knows how to interpret the set of HTML tags within the page in order to display the page on your screen as the page's creator intended it to be viewed.

All this is just some brief information that I thought would be interesting to share. I have ask myself the same question so I figured I would post some brief information on it.
