I once dreamed, "wouldn't it be great if you could simply go to any computer and look
up anything." For me, the internet really is a dream come true.
One of my earliest adventures in programming a computer required assembly code
(machine language), translated into hexadecimal (base 16). Then, I had to solder
diodes on a rack (in binary configuration) to program the code. That was quite awhile
ago, it's
so much easier now (with keyboards).
If you ask me "how do I make my own web page," then I'd prefer to present you with
methods you can understand. I get more done and so do you. Besides, the internet ends
up with better information, that we can all look up later.
Creating a webpage is much like creating a document. If you throw something together,
it won't be as good as the one you worked harder to create.
Web Pages are like Onions (or Ogres), they have many layers!

Website Content
There is the ever important content, which is what your visitors really want. Any time
you go to a website, you are looking for something in particular.
Web Page Graphics
Proper use of web page graphics can be worth a thousand words when we explain things.
Graphics also make your web page more fun to look at. Be aware, that many people use
web page graphics without really matching them to the message, thus detracting from
your page.
Get Found on Search Engines
Getting your web page found on the search engines is important, otherwise what's the
point? This get right back to content. If your content is what your visitors really
want, everything will line up to put you at the top of the list. Think "Win-Win" on
every web page you create.
Web Pages With A Purpose
Every website needs a purpose. Whether you are selling a product, getting people
to join your cause or just providing information, you need to find a purpose and stick
with it.
Monetizing your website is always a plus, but not as
easy as people think. You have a better vision of your business than anyone else.
The beauty of money making web pages, is the duplication of efforts. Write it once, then
it works 24/7 for you. For instance, when you figure out how to make your web page average
$x for every 100 visitors, it just keeps doing it.
If you want a raise, then double your visitors (increase your keyword preference), and/or
figure out how to increase the average income per visitor. Once you've got it, it keeps
working for you (with an occasional tune-up).
Also, you can write more pages, if you want.
If you can make your own web site,
you're helping build the internet too!
