Synopsis

The Web is the most sophisticated, most open, and simplest publishing medium ever created, an endless set of criss-crossing interconnections between an ever-growing number of points, and a community in the truest sense of the word. Your Web page can be your platform to say or show whatever you want to the millions of people with access to the global Internet. You can talk about yourself or your business. You can publish a short story or a collection of jokes. You can show pictures of your dog or of your company’s latest product. Your own imagination is the only limit to what you can put on the Web.
