Slide 23 of 38
Notes:
Web pages are kept in special machines called web servers that are always on and always connected to the net. People don’t usually have these in their homes but they get free space from some internet service provider’s server.
The pages are just text plus a few commands written inside <arrowhead brackets>. The commands are called HTML (hypertext markup language) and they give the computer that is displaying the page commands like “show in the place of this command a picture called xxx”
The best way to get started is to look how other, already existing pages are made. When viewing a page one can choose from the browser program menu the command “view source”. That shows the actual page - the text and commands it consists of. Take a copy of a simple “no frills” page you like, save it on your own machine and start replacing your own text there. LionNet has special “template” pages that you can use, together with explanations what the different commands do. Don’t just steal other’s copyrighted design, but use their ideas and build upon them. Besides, between lions friends, if you write to a webmaster and ask if you can use his/her design that you especially like you rarely get a “no” as an answer. But you may get a good new friend.
