Welcome to the World Wide Web!

The Internet as we know it—the World Wide Web—was developed at the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland in 1989. In January 1993 there were only 50 Web servers online. 1993 was also the year that the first alpha version of the Mosaic browser was tested.

 

In 1995 only 8.4 million adults used the Internet in the United States. Now, that figure is well over 1 Billion. No other invention—not the car, the radio, or the television has swept the market as quickly.

 

It is, indeed, a revolution.

Web Page Authoring
Web pages are built with HTML- hypertext markup language. This format provides a standardized set of code for Internet browsers. Microsoft Word is a web authoring program: it will write the HTML code for us.

Design Web Pages with Tables
Web pages use Tables to keep the layout consistent. A Table is a Table is a Table. This is true whether the Table is created in MS Word, Dreamweaver or hand-typed HTML programming.

Microsoft Word has several Table Tools to get us started.
