Compliance of XHTML is more strict than that of HTML. Firstly, you cannot leave a tag unclosed unlike HTML. If HTML allow attributes in single quote, XHTML requires them to be enclosed in double quotes. Also, comment in the form of should be removed and inline codes of javascript and styles should be stored in separate files of .js and .css respectively.

If you are planning to put up a web site of your own but you are just new to web building, then do not worry because everything that you need can be found on the Internet.

To be more specific, there is this one site that offers free tutorials on wide array of subject with regards web building: from design and programming to scripting and uploading.

W3 Schools have tutorials on HTML including XHTML, CSS and TCP/IP. You can also learn the basics of different scripting – browser, server and client-side scripting. This is really one big-time online reference. What best is it’s free.

Accessing the Internet is a security risk.

When you are connected to the Internet, an IP address is used to identify your PC.  If you don’t protect yourself, this IP address can be used to access your computer from the outside world.

A fixed IP address is a larger security risk.

If you’re using a modem with a dial-up connection, you will get a new IP address every time you connect to Internet, but if you have a fixed Internet connection (cable, ADSL, fixed line), your IP address will never change. If you have a fixed IP address, you give potential Internet crackers all the time they need to search for entrances to your computer, and to store and share (with other crackers) information they might find about your unprotected private data. -Source

I noticed that a lot of people are still confused about the terms “Website” and “Webpage”. Some think that they have the same meaning, but they are actually two different terms.

A webpage consists of information that can be viewed in a world wide web and it can be accessed through a web browser. You can compare it in a page in a book or an important paper from a folder with a compilation of documents. On the other hand, a Website is a collection of information regarding a specific subject. It consists of a number of webpage that’s why a website is developed. You can compare a website into a book or a folder with a compilation of important documents.

HTML, an initialism of Hypertext Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML is written in the form of labels (known as tags), surrounded by angle brackets. HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can include embedded scripting language code which can affect the behavior of web browsers and other HTML processors. -Source

The Internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible series of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a “network of networks” that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked web pages and other resources of the World Wide Web (WWW). -Source

Misconception #4: Images are great in illustrating points you want to deliver. It also adds appeal to your website. But do not image-overload your site because it takes some time to load them. Also, save your images using the correct format. Images that have more colors are saved as .jpg images, otherwise you have to save it as .gif format.

Misconception #5: Your website is viewed equally at all times

This mistake is very common among webmasters. You can never assume that your site looks the same in all browsers because browsers render HTML differently. Remember to view your site in all possible browsers, especially the leading ones like Firefox and IE.
