Basics
What is a domain?
A domain is a website that has a name like smileyhelper.com
It's whatever words you want with a .com, .net, .org, .info, or another ending.
You have to pay a monthly fee for the web space, and a yearly fee to own the domain name.
What is a URL?
A URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, and that basically means it's a bunch of text strung together so the computer know where to find a website and at what place. They start with http:// and usually a www. As well as being the location of webpages, it can also be the location of a hosted image.
What is an address?
The same an an URL. :)
How do I get a website? (a free one)
You just have to sign up at a free web host, of course! =) Some good free hosts are:
freewebs.com (no ads)
geocities.com (ad on the side, but comes with a few features)
angelfire.com (a lot of ads, but really nifty features for your site)
What does HTML stand for, anyway?
Hyper Text Markup Language. That means it's a text-based (as opposed to symbols or something..) computer language.
Okay.. what does CSS stand for?
Cascading Style Sheets. They add style to your pages. :) -insert more corny humor-
What's Java Script?
It's yet another computer language like html and css (more complicated), but you can actually make your pages interactive! =O
How do I get my images online?
Go to an image host such as:
imageshack.us
tinypic.com
Upload your picture, copy the last code they give you (just the url), and paste it in between the quotes of the following code. Then copy and paste the completed code onto your page.
