Now that we have used a table to create a basic layout for our website, we can expand the site to more than one web page. Watch below as I show you how to do this. After all, almost all sites have more than one page involved.

Tables can obviously be used to lay out data in an organized way. However, you can also use tables to create the overall structure of your website. This video below will explain and show how to do this.

Now that this course has provided the basics on hand-coding your HTML, we will delve into the world of WYSIWYG editors. Using an editor like this will allow you to create your web pages in a much quicker fashion and in a style much more similar to a word processor. You can accomplish much of what you need without doing any HTML coding by hand.

What makes the Internet into the “world wide web”? Or more accurately, what makes it a “web”? It is links. See, if there is a web page floating out there on a server with no links pointing to it, it might as well be completely off the Internet. Nobody can get to it! It is links which link one web page to another and it is links which form the continuous flow that is the Internet experience.
Obviously, a link is essentially an element on a web page that, when clicked, takes the user to another page. When that link is a text, it is usually signified by being an underlined and your mouse cursor will turn into a little hand. You clicked on a link to get into this very lesson.
OK, now let us jump right into how to create a link.

Tables are something you will probably need to make use of on your web pages. You may use them to simply structure your data for easy viewing. Some people actually use tables to form the basic layout of their pages. I will address using tables for design later in this course. For now, let me simply introduce the HTML needed to create simple tables.

Often, the difference between a “blah” looking webpage and a good looking one comes down to the images used. Images are used not only to accent your text, but also for the actual design and layout of your web page. We will get into how to actually design a web page a little later in this course, but for now it is necessary to know how to insert images into your HTML.
In the Introduction to Website Files, I talked about what a JPEG, GIF and PNG image file is. These are image files, and these files are SEPARATE from your HTML file. You use an HTML tag to reference the external image into your HTML document.

OK, before we get going with creating your own website, there are a few things to think about and gather together.
Before creating your own website, you need to have some idea of exactly what you are trying to do with it and what you would like to accomplish. You can consult the Reasons To Have a Website lesson in this course for more information on the different types of sites that are out there.
The reason I mention this again on the checklist is because I believe you should put a little planning into your new website. It is best to think about your ultimate goal and then work backwards. For example, are you looking to create a site to talk about yourself and potentially “sell” you to recruiters? The goal here would be an impressed recruiter. They will need to have information about you (i.e. a resume) and will want to see that information on a professional-looking website. Want to keep your family updated on what is happening in your life? You’ll probably want a site which allows easy updating often (a blog).
With a relatively firm grasp of where you want to go with this, let us get into the different tools you are going to need to get moving.

The first step to getting into this field is to understand how it works. Here are some questions that I have found many people simply don’t understand:
I have talked to people about this and the confusion is definitely rampant. Most people have never really thought about where a website comes from. Its just the mysterious “they” who do it, I guess. Also, contrary to what Senator Ted Stevens said, the internet is not really a “series of tubes”.
So, let’s take a look at how this all works.

Before we begin in earnest, let’s talk about why you might want to have a website. There are a lot of different types of sites out there and the great part about the internet, in general, is that it is a free medium to do with what you want.
Some of the common things people do on their websites today are:

This is the "kitchen sink" e-book for computer maintenance and repair. A jam-packed 346 pages. As Monte Russel (the author) says in his e-book, "Computers have always been complex, but if a guy that grew up out in the boonies in Wyoming can fix 'em, you can also!" Monte is a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force. Afterwards, he served a long career as a computer repair tech and network administrator. LEARN MORE
