Okay, once I write my webpages, then upload them to my internet service providers computer, how can people around the world find my webpage?
Your website has to be registered with a search engine. Actually, there are dozens and dozens of different search engines (like Webcrawler, AltaVista, Yahoo, to name a few), so if you want a search engine to be able to find your website, then you have to register your webpage with that engine. For example, I registered this HTML tutorial with probably two dozen of the more popular search engines. There are service companies, such as your own ISP, that will do the registration for you (for a small fee). However, I just spent the time doing it myself. Most registrations take less than a few minutes–just go to the search engine’s main page, and click on “Add URL”, and then fill out one simple form. But beware: each search engine takes a different length of time until your website is indexed by them and ready for searching by anyone else in the world. Some search engines will be ready to allow searches of your webpage in minutes, others may take several weeks before your webpage is search
