WEB PAGES
BY: Tessa
Why am I writing about web pages?
Web pages are interesting. What if someone wants to know about one? What if there is not one you can find? Well I am here to help.
Where should we start?
Computers can talk to each other. One way is by the Internet. So first we have to learn about the Internet.
The Internet
All computers can connect to other computers. Then they can send information back and forth.
A server is a special computer connected right to the Internet. Your computer at home is not a server because it does not connect right to the Internet. Your computer connects to a I.S.P. which connects to the Internet. Servers hold in data and then serve it out. Web pages are stored on any server.
Now you know the Internet is not magical.
How you find a web page
First the person types in the web page you want to see. What you type is called a web page address U.R.L. The computer finds the server with the website using the D.N.S. (the domain name system.) Then little bits of information called packets travel all over the world in about one second to make a web page.
Packets
Packets of information flow to the next place on the network. They keep moving until the packets reach your computer. This helps to make a web page apear on your computer. Routers help move packets forward.

H.T.M.L.
All websites have H.T.M.L. which is a computer language.
H.T.M.L. has special codes to format your words (make them look good). All websites are made of different files. H.T.M.L. is the main part of a web page.
Here are some examples:
- Make paragraphs with <![CDATA[<p>]]>
- you can also use <![CDATA[<h1> and <h2>]]> to make headings
- you can use <![CDATA[ <i>]]> to make italics
-
you can use style blue (or other colors) to make the thing you are coloring that color.
Also your computer screen is made of millions of little dots called pixels. You can use H.T.M.L. codes to position words on the web page using pixels.
I even used H.T.M.L. to make this web page. Check it out below.
