Creating a Website

Back in the early days of the Internet, only a select few were able to, or could be bothered with, creating a website. The thing was that the Internet was still clunky and slow, and was the domain of nerds and real programmers who had the knowledge to make a website. These people understood HTML.
Dreamweaver had not been invented yet, so building websites took a huge amount of time and effort. It was not something to be entered into lightly as it it was a very challenging for the inexperienced.
The opposite is true today. Anyone can create their very own site, and for the internet publisher or marketer it's a must. Things like blogging are very popular nowadays too.
If you have not learned to make your own website, you have some catching up to do. After all, sites such as My Space and Live Journal make it so easy that people who are complete novices on the Internet are doing it.
It hasn't been long since I created my first website. I put it off for ages, telling myself that it was pointless, and that I was too busy. But if I am honest, I was scared. I didn't think I could do as good a job as some of the sites I had seen.
And my first website was that great, if I am honest. I didn't know how to build a professional site, but I gave it a go anyway.
When I got into my stride, I realised it wasn't that dificult after all. There is plenty of free web hosting out there if you look properly. I used a WYSIWYG web builder program which meant I didn't need HTML knowledge. It took about 30 mins to create a pretty good example with articles , blogs and pictures on it.
If you are interested in making a website with a more professional layout, it will take longer, but it is still nothing for you to worry about. Best of all, you will feel more included by your online friends, and you might just make new friends as well!
