The Main TFFS Web Site

TFFS had a web site, this is currently offline. My site is being constructed so that it will have a better look and feel. My old site just didn't pop out at you when you saw it, so I am making a better one (it was my second web site). My new site uses a combination of HTML and CSS. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) was one of the first forms of visual web pages. HTML is becoming slowly more obsolete, but it is still a popular format, especially when used with CSS.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is another powerful tool for making web sites. You don't need CSS, but it gives you a great number of abilities:

*You can change EVERY page by only changing ONE CSS document
*It allows code to be reused
*It is not complicated (Neither is HTML)
*It uses less memory on huge sites
*It allows a large amount of change to be made to your site

I was convinced as soon as I knew what I was doing.

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language is like the parent of all markup languages. It showed that a markup language can have a lot of power. When you view a web site made with HTML, your browser sends the domain name (example: tffsgame.blogspot.com) to your ISP's (Internet Service Provider) DNS (Domain Name Server) system, which pings (sends a request) other DNS servers to find the site's IP address. After this, your computer connects to that IP address and requests the .html file you are looking for. If that file needs a .css file, it does all those steps again, but for the .css file.

You will have to excuse me for my geeky posts, right now, I am hiring no-one except a web host. Right now, I do:

3-D Modeling
Java programming
HTML programming
3-D Engine programming
CSS programming
Image editing
Sound editing
Some of the music
etc.

Now, hopefully, you understand the huge process that goes on in a split second to bring you my site!
