Well, i am creating my first web site, and so far i have apache set up and the domain name aswell, and everything seems to work smoothly.

As i see it, the next step is to start adding content, prolly beginning with HTML.

i would just like to know how i go about doing this...?
 
Just put your html files or whatever you want in the proper directory(as specified in your http server configuration). If the server is running on your home computer then this is as simple as copying files to a different directory. If the server is remote then you will have to sftp or something into it and copy the files that way.
 
Also, keep in mind that the beginning page of your site should be named index.html


... unless you're ready to make changes to the .htaccess file.


Other than that, decide what all you plan to include on your site and come up with a logical directory structure. Nothing worse than being 6 months down the line and having to recode because you decided to put everything in the root. :p

Start with HTML as it's the easiest to learn. Perhaps get bold and use some PHP, even if it's only for server side includes. Mostly, just try a lot of different stuff and decide what you like and what works for you.

Good Luck!

Right on with that one. Depending on what you want your website's functionality and purpose to be, HTML will be your starting block, and PHP can come later down the road.
