Okay, so how does making a website work?

I've been very curious about it, and I believe there is no better way than to ask you computer geniuses for information.

Try making one with neocities! Just throw some HTML together and you're basically a developer.

If you see something cool on a website, you can usually right click then Inspect Element to steal that code for yourself.

A website is just a few text files that your browser interprets and renders to the screen. Of course there a billion frameworks to make it easier(or more complicated) than raw HTML and CSS, but that's the gist of it.

Okay so I may have accidentally fallen into an HTML rabbit hole and totally forgot to respond to y'all. Don't know if you guys will see this. With this coding I realize I'm becoming my father and it's weirdly cathartic. I feel like this may be copy-pasta at the begging of every developer's journey. May or may not be a cult, but I'm drinking the open source Kool-Aid to the bottom of the glass.
