Computer field is completely new to me since my BS Degree was in
Medical field. At first, I am really afraid of the idea that I have to
build a Web Page on my own. Matter of fact, creating a Web page is not
as hard as I though it would be.

In order to create a web page, it is helpful to understand some of the
basic definitions:
Html: hypertext markup language. A programming tool that uses
hypertext to establish dynamic links to other documents stored in the
same or remote computers.
Url: Uniform resource location. this is the address of the
document or page on the web. You can access a web document by typing
the url into your browser program.
World wide web or web for short is a method for publishing
information on the Internet.

One of the fist thing I need to do is to find a free server that will
give me free spaces on the web. There are several free hosting services
such as Xoom, Geocities, Tripod...Etc... Tripod and Geocities have
many " pop up advertising". Xoom does not work well with graphic .
Sometimes, it just shows a Xoom symbols instead of a real images.
Luckily, Fortunecity has everything I need.

After going through all the steps for space registration, Fortunecity
gave me a 20 megabyte free space. Moreover, it also has online
homepage builder for beginner like me. It allows me to edit webpages
using its file management.

To write a web page, I need to learn the html code. And to do anything
in html manually, I do it through a tag. Some of the most common and
important html commands that I have to have are the command to start
the page, command for title, command for head-body of the page...The
commands usually come in pairs- the beginning portion and an ending
portion- the different between them is a slash.
EXAMPLE:
On my web page ,for the heading area, I need to write:





For the body area:

Write whatever I have for the body. I can also use some other commands

like:

<I>italicized text </I> to italicized text

<U>underline text </U> to underline text

I need to end the body area by the "</body:>" tag

The last line of the html codes is always "</html>.

I can view the html codes on the Netscape that other people have written. All I have to do is use theright button on the mouse to click on the page, then choose viewsource. It allows me to view the sources other people written.

EXAMPLES:

Use <img> tag: to show images

<hr> : for horizontal line.
I chose "Animal" for this project's subject. I have some pictures that
I would like to post on my page. In order to do that, I need a
scanner. One of my friend scanned them for me. Also, he introduced me
to AOL PRESS-WYSIWYG edit. It is such a wonderful program! I don't
have to go through all the code writting. It also has a function that
enables me to add images and links as well as choose colors. It can
save me lots of time oce I get use to it. The address of AOL PRESS
is http://www.aolpress. It is a free program.

For this project, there are two requirements that I have to have on my
page is " a counter" and "guestbook". There are many free web services
that provide it. I chose http://www.guestpage.com and
http://www.ultimatecounter.com for my requirements. I have three
animation images on my page. I found them at
http://www.clipartconnection.com

To set up a link, html can either be written manually or created by
using web page editing program. AOL PRESS is one of the editing
program. To write html manually, the html format would be follow:
