<p><font color="#008040">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Building a simple 
website is quite easy. If you know how to type in an essay in a computer - i.e., 
within one of its word-processors such as <em>WordPad</em>, <em>Word</em> or 
<em>PageMaker</em> - then you're already halfway through it. Nowadays, people 
mostly type in the contents of their website within a webpage-editor such as 
<em>PageBreeze</em>, <em>KompoZer</em>, <em>Windows Live Write</em> (all these 
three are freeware) or <em>Microsoft FrontPage</em> (once used to be a part of 
<em>Microsoft Office</em> ), instead of directly 
writing coded raw website-contents in the hypertext markup language 
(i.e., HTML) as they tended to do some decades ago.&nbsp;A webpage-editor (also called an HTML
Editor) is just similar to a word-processor, as you can see from the 
figure below, but its usual output is not a word-processor document file ready 
for printing, but rather a webpage file (e.g., the file 
<em>How_to_Build.htm</em> that you're presently viewing) ready to be published 
so as to become a part of a website (e.g., of the&nbsp;website riturajkalita.webs.com). 
Such webpage-editors are generally <em>WYSIWYG</em> ones, which means that 
<em>What You See</em> (within the editor) <em>Is What You Get</em> (within the 
website when that is viewed).<br><em>Note:</em> A webpage (even called&nbsp; 
<em>page</em>, in website jargon) not at all means a portion of a file printable 
on one piece of paper, as is the case&nbsp;with meaning of 
'page'&nbsp;</font><font color="#008040">for 
a&nbsp;word-processors such as <em>Microsoft Word</em>. A <em>webpage</em> always means&nbsp;the whole webpage-file. A 
webpage, instead,&nbsp;may be so large that it may&nbsp;require ten or fifteen 
paper-pages (pieces of paper) to get it printed, but still it'll be called one 
webpage! A webpage file generally has an extension <em>.htm</em> or 
<em>.html</em> in its&nbsp;name (in the complete name of a computer-file, the 
extension implying the type of file - e.g., <em>.htm</em> - immediately follows 
the given name e.g., <em>How_to_Build</em>).</font></p>
<p><font color="#008040">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A website (such 
as riturajkalita.webs.com that you're viewing now) generally consists of several 
such webpages along with images (pictures), PDF-documents and multimedia (i.e., 
audio/video) files. But it is 
the webpages that remain bound to one another (via hyperlinks) - forming the 
core of the website - and they also bind images, 
documents and multimedia files (by hyperlinks or as embedded files) present within the website 
(once you get these things ready with you, there are many hosting services ready 
to host your website, some of them even for free). Check that the 
figure below is indeed mentioned as an embedded image file 
<em>PageBreeze.gif</em> (yes, the figure does remain as a separate image file mentioned 
within the webpage - surely not remaining within the webpage file itself, 
unlike what happens in <em>Microsoft Word</em>), by right-clicking the mouse on 
the image and then choosing the <em>Save Image As</em> (or a 
similarly worded) option.<br>Note: A 
hyperlink, if you haven't known it yet, is a link (generally on some underlined&nbsp;and 
blue-coloured text, as on the prominent one seen in the next paragraph, but 
sometimes found even on an image) found in a webpage, so that when one clicks at 
it, another webpage (or sometimes a PDF document) gets opened.</font></p>

<p align="center"><em>PageBreeze</em>&nbsp;working on this very page - you'll also mostly 
need&nbsp;just to type in matters</p>
<p align="left"><font 
color=#008040>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A 
webpage, as we've&nbsp;indicated 
above, can also be written as HTML-coded raw text (obviously, by knowledgeable persons only) 
using raw text editors such as <em>Notepad</em> or <em>DOS Edit</em>. 
However, when you're viewing a website, you're obviously not seeing the coded 
raw&nbsp;text (click at the hyperlink just below to see&nbsp;some coded raw text) 
but rather the published output with coloured and formatted (<i>italic</i> etc.) text. The embedded 
figures, such as the one above, is also mentioned within the HTML-coded raw text. 
The color and formatting etc., also remained mentioned therein. Interesting, 
isn't it? <a href="Coded_Raw_Text.htm" target="_blank">Click here</a> to view the
