A Trip to Webville
getting connected
Web pages are a dish best served on the Internet. 
So far 
you’ve only created HTML pages that live on your own computer. You’ve also 
only linked to pages that are on your own computer. We’re about to change all 
that. In this chapter we’ll encourage you to get those web pages on the Internet 
where all your friends, fans, and customers can actually see them. We’ll also 
reveal the mysteries of linking to other pages by cracking the code of the h, t, t, p, 
:, /, /, w, w, w. So, gather your belongings; our next stop is Webville.
