-- Help Building and Maintaining a Small Website --
This is a place to find help with some of the questions that you are afraid to ask. It's written so that even someone with no experience at all can use the examples and come up with some pretty neat things. I've tried to give examples in each instance, so often it's just a matter of cut and paste to make things work. There are many great tutorials on HTML and CSS on the web. Just do a search for "HTML Help" A very good site is http://www.w3.org/ which has everything covered literally from A to Z.
One of my personal favorites is www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/ It is quite dated, having been around since 1994, but, it leads you by the hand to make a real website that covers everything from Text to Bitmaps.
Another really good site is Pat Asher's HTML Basics
If you decide to use those lessons, you need not go any further here, unless you're curious.
There are so many websites to help one learn HTML, I'll not try and do that here.
I hope to sort of fill in the gaps with this site and bring some of the odds and ends together in one easy to find format. If you are using a program to make websites, this will help you have a idea what goes on under the hood on a web page, plus some neat little extras.
I'd like to say right now, that learning HTML and CSS is not any harder than learning to use one of the WYSIWYG programs for writing a website. Like anything, the more you practice, the better you get.
Please realize that I'm just learning too, and as I learn more, I'll post it here.
This site is just starting out, so some of the links may not have much on them, but please be patient and check back. If you have a question or comment, let us know.
Thanks.
Jim
