XHTML is a reformulation of HTML to be able to agree with the existing standard of XML (Extensible Markup Language). It is like picking out all the best things from HTML, filtering all the awesome aspects from XML, combining these two together and coming up with a very flexible and powerful XHTML.

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

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
