how do I make a normal webpage
I wish that Cloudflare would make this information available. Something like a script: "Here is how to get your rudimentary web sit up and running." I guess Cloudflare isn't catering to my small niche. You filled the gap and again, thanks.

how do I make a normal webpage
Sorry about the confusion regarding multiple domains. I have a lot of web sites and they typically are just small things giving basic, rudimentary information. That's all I need. So, for example, m-mm.org, ivocate.org, and huntsafe.org are all similar websites but for various different efforts.

how do I make a normal webpage
I'm about to conclude that I'm going to use Cloudflare only as my domain registrar and use Scala web hosting for the actual hosting.

3) Set the following settings so that it actually is viewable by the world. This is the step that I cannot accomplish. Like I said, I tried (for many, many hours) using whatever advice I could scrape off the internet. It isn't simple, and it doesn't work. I've even, very carefully, compared a kind-of-working website (m-mm.org) to one that doesn't work at all (ivocate.org). Every single DNS setting that I can find, and the one rule that I tried, is identical (except for the obvious difference of where the web content is finally stored). One site works, the other does not.

2) Verify that your stuff works using the Cloudflare-provided URL, for example, ivocate1.pages.dev. (I've also done this successfully).

how do I make a normal webpage
I have read a lot about A records and CNAME records and redirect rules. This is not information I want to know about, I don't care about this, but it seems required if I am to accomplish this simple functionality using Cloudflare. This very functionality is provided invisibly by other hosting providers. I never needed to learn these things - I just uploaded my HTML code and graphics and the site was live and available to the world.

All these are very old standards that should be supported. Yet two of the three (www.huntsafe.org and http://www.huntsafe.org) don't work.

But these are not what I want the world to have to type in. Naive users should be able to go to huntsafe.org, www.huntsafe.org, http://www.huntsafe.org.

how do I make a normal webpage
I actually understand Electri's situation. I have a very simple web page using just HTML and a simple graphic. Not even any CSS. The link that Chaika included does give instructions for how to upload this sort of simple thing. But then there are obscure, arcane networking things that prevent the site from actually working in the "usual way" - meaning, you can't just type in www.huntsafe.org, for example.
