Is there any difference between using hex or rgb codes or colour names when coding a page? Does it make a difference in the browser used? Obviously the coding is a little different with the hex or rgb or colour names. Also I am wondering why the sites that have these codes are labeled as web safe. I don't know what that means.

the # before the letters/numbers means rgb, so #000000 is the correct way to do it.
Web safe is using within the 256 colour scope, which is meant to be 100% universal on all browsers and all platforms.
Using the color names can be done but not all are supported, I often use the black and white instead of #000000 and #ffffff but keep away from the others as I founf some time back Mac's had issues with names.
With CSS the 6 digit/number rgb combination can be shortened to 3, #000000 can become #000, but if you get a color like #ffcc00, shortening it can be tricky as #fc0 wont give you want you want.
Just a note, the 0 in rgb is always the number 0, not the letter O
