Website templates are all over the internet. They are easy to navigate to input your information through forms.  Best thing to do is get a Web Design Program; Microsoft Front Page is the easiest for me to learn when I started. Flash and Dreamweaver is optimal but it requires a high learning curve.

What is RSS Feed?

This is the way a blog works. It is constantly self updating when a new comment is posted. Another style of RSS feed is a guestbook. A Blog is a glorified guestbook.

What is CSS Style Sheets?

This is a interactive page that allows the user to interact with a picture or form. If I took my mouse and hovered over an image and lets say that image holds 3 spots on that image I can click on to go somewhere else. A typical example of that would be looking at a map; the map has 3 icons or pictures on it that lead me somewhere else, a another web address, another picture, or a virtual tour.

What is Java?

Java is a lucrative way to express a website with more than just words. http://www.dynamicdrive.com has a website with lots of java code to cut and paste into your own website to make images move, interactive forms run, menu links cascade across screens.
