For newbies, you may think html is a mess.
(from the html of this blog)


Well,you are half correct,it is an organised mess ,things have meanings:

1. <html>...</html>------indicates...is a html
2. <head>...</head>------contains webpage information (e.g. <title>...</title>)
3. <body>...</body>------contains main content and structure.

With these, you can create a webpage,it should look like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>...</title>
</head>
<body>...</body>
<html>

Web 2.0 for Dummies

                                         What?

 What is web 2.0 ?you may ask .Web 2.0 is basicly a next generation of  web 1.0 and it does not exactly means anything ,it depend on who is answering(e.g.for me,it is something that allow me to relex while a banker may say that it is his sorce of money.
Here is a difference:
         
a webmaster updates a website to keep visiters informed and engaged ----------------web 1.0


 the webmaster shares his responsibility of updating the website with the visiters----web 2.0

There are loads and loads of differences so there is no point in writing too much,you will only be confused

                                           web1.0                              web2.0 

                                         Why?

Again, you may ask,why use web 2.0 instead of 1.0?Here is your answer in bullet form:

• Today,web users are looking for more than information but also experience
• It provides each ministery with its own online gated community which is a safe place for members and a inviting atmosphere for visiters
• New technology (e.g.online gaming,faccebook)is changing the way people use the internet which resulted to the first point
