In theory this can be virtually any form of material that you have prepared from a photo to a word-document to a full website. In practice on a website most pages are written in HTML. One reason that HTML is used, is because it is simple and looks pretty and 'right' on all modern browsers. So, yes you may ask your friend to look at a photo, but on the other hand it would be preferable to let him look at an HTML file which includes that photo.

'But what is HTML?'- I hear you ask. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is the language that is used on the majority of websites today in order to bring together text, pictures, sound and movement so that they are arranged in the optimal way. It is not the purpose of this article to go into too much depth of how to write HTML as there are other excellent sites that explain and teach this. In order to find some, do a search by clicking here

(An alternative is, to use an html editor which will create the html code for you. The way it works is a bit like a word-processor. An example of this is called WebWizard and can be found here )

However, if you do want to use this article to actually produce something, then the following lines will produce the text 'Hello World' if used correctly:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Hello World
</body>
</html>

How the above looks, can be seen here

You can try making a 'Hello World' page by 'copy and pasting' the above lines into a text editor. Most computers have a text editor called  Notepad which can be found by clicking on Start and then Accessories. Save it as 'helloworld.html' including the ''s around the words. Then go to your browser and type in the exact address of where you saved it. So on my computer, it was c:/helloworld.html .  Although your fictional friend in Australia may not be so impressed with this, just remember, every journey starts with a small step
