In this chapter, I'll try to ease you into some basic ideas without getting very technical. In fact, a lot can be said without getting into details about specific technologies. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. We'll get into more specifics about HTML later, but for the moment we can ignore it and look at your future web site in terms of content and aesthetics. Most people have forgotten the fact that useful web sites must provide useful information.
Most web searches end at information which is inaccurate, outdated, or no longer available.
I think it's a rare treat to stumble across something useful these days. In this guide, I hope to teach you how to make web pages from scratch, but it's up to you to decide what you want to convey to the world. Of course, you may be making a page only for yourself or your friends, and that's fine. If you want your page to be somewhat popular, however, you'll face the challenge of making content that will bring in the readers. Since I have no idea what you'll end up designing, I can't say much more about content, but keep in mind that it's the most important element of a web page.
