After you have made an HTML document, what is the next step to get it to be

displayed on the internet? I am learning HTML, I now how to write some of the code, but I still do not know how to upload to a server, or if that is what you do at all. I thought that you might need a special program to let you connect specially with the server, and of course you have to have a reserved web page space. Am I wrong?

Save it as a .html file. Then you can use a simple web server like Freewebs (www.freewebs.com) to upload the .html file to the Freewebs server and it will be online. If you want your own domain, you have to buy one.

All of the "free" web space providers and most of the paid providers will have a web-enabled interface that lets you browse to the location of your HTML file and upload it, in a procedure similar to selecting a file to attach to an e-mail message. Once you've mastered this straight-forward approach, you may wish to try using FTP software. Very few of the "free" web space providers will allow this type of connection, but all of the paid ones will. This is much more robust and lets you upload much, much quicker (once you have learned the program). There are many brands of FTP software on the market and some are "free". FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, a way to transfer files over the internet that pre-dates the HTML protocol.
