How to write a web page
Hello. In the past few months, a lot of friends have said "Hey Ron, I want to have a web page. Help!". It's not easy to start
making your own page. There's a lot to think about - domain name, hosting, scripting, google...
So I decided to make this short guide. It will not be comprehensive, but I hope it will be clear and help those who are
making their first steps into the website-owner world...

Metalgrass makes software for windows, and also have a network of technological community web sites. My prominent site
is OLED-Info (OLEDs are a new type of display technology, it is quite exciting).
All in all I have more than 20 domains and more than 7 sites (My wife says I need a therapist), and I also
maintain a personal blog.
