Web pages are written using Hypertext Markup Language, or html. Html tags let you describe the format to be used when displaying a document. You can find out more about html from the HTML Authoring Help page.

If you are interested in processing data from a web form you may want to use CGI scripting.

To limit access to your web pages you will need to use a .htaccess file.

If you produced your web page with a browser or word processor, you will want to publish your page to the web server.

If you make a Web page, then your name will show up in a list of users with Personal Homepages or Organizational Homepages.  This list of index.html (or index.cgi, or index.php or index.shtml) files is updated automatically at least every two days.
