“That's a great story,” said Claude after I had finished, “but you got lucky. It doesn't help me make money.”

Claude was still unconvinced. “Sure, but doing all that techie stuff is easy for you. Even if I wrote something good, I still couldn't make a Web page out of it. I'm not a geek, so there's no way that I could build a Web site.”

“That, my friend, is where you're wrong,” I said. It was time to correct his misconceptions about some basic Web terminology.
