Writing Pages

"So you've been wandering the Web for a while now, and you're ready to start contributing to the great flow of information on the Internet. The first thing to do is learn about HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the standard language used by Netscape Navigator and other browsers to bring documents to your screen. Next, you'll want to learn about adding on-line forms, graphics, sound, and video - taking advantage of the interactive and multimedia capabilities of the Web. And once you understand the basics and start coding pages like mad, you'll want to find some development tools to make your work easier." [quoted from Netscape's Assistance Creating Net Sites]
