Web Publishing Basics
In This Chapter
Getting started with Web publishing
Putting together a Web page the easy way — and the easier way
Examining types of Web sites
Reviewing Web page guidelines
T
he Web is an incredibly easy way to get your message — any message — 
out to anyone in the world who’s interested in it. By putting up a Web 
page you can stay in touch with friends and family, entertain people, help 
yourself get a job, or help yourself do your job. You can start a business, 
grow a business, or just have fun expressing yourself.
Having a Web page is also ever more important as social networking and 
online selling sites — eBay, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, and many 
others — continue to grow. You need a base that establishes your online 
presence, and any online commercial interests you have, across all the 
“walled gardens” that each want you to spend all your online time within 
their boundaries.
Nearly a million people have purchased this book since its first edition more 
than ten years ago; my readers have used every technique I describe in this 
book — and more — to get their first Web pages up and running. By reading 
this book, you’re starting on a path that many, many people before you have 
followed to Web-page success.
Web Basics 101
You may have begun using the Internet and the Web without really getting a 
chance to learn how they work. Knowing how they work can help you 
become a better Web publisher and Web user. Here’s a brief, to-the-point 
description. For more information, you can search the Web; the World Wide 
Web Consortium site at www.w3.org is a good place to start. (Start with the 
HTML section.)
