If you want to write your own web page (it's very easy - give it a go) take a look at the beginners guide to html. Although once you understand the basics the best way to learn is to look at other peoples 'source code' - if your using Netscape or Internet Explorer you do this by simply right clicking and then selecting View Source. This html colour chart may also come in handy.
Anything else you want to know about computing is probably somewhere on slashdot
