Here is a list of some helpful sites that you might like to visit on the WWW. They will help you to learn about Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and how to create your own web pages using HTML. *smile* I just wish I had had all of these sites around when I started making my web pages. *L* Life would have been a lot easier then! *grin*

When I first started creating web pages for my family and me, I used Windows Notepad and our Internet browser and followed the instructions found in PC Novice magazine (now Smart Computing). I used the October through December 1996 issues, which has a 3-part series called "Learn The Language Of The Web" by Marti Remington. You should be able to get the magazine from your local library or you can try contacting the customer service dept. of the magazine for information to order the back issues. I now use FlexED for writing my web pages which is a nice Australian HTML editing program that I have found and I do like using it......it's much easier to create web pages with it rather than with Windows Notepad and it even has an internal viewer to use if you wish to see your page while you are working on it.

And here's one helpful tip for anyone new to HTML and making web pages:
Be sure to view the source code and see how it is done if you have any questions about how the person arranged something......it's a good way to learn some of the different approaches that people have used with HTML.....but please do NOT copy/steal it from someone......that is known as "plagerism." Please be sure to read "A Word To The Wise" by Judith, the Lady of Williamsholler for some important information that you should know. (And you might enjoy checking out the music of the Dreamsharer  while you are visiting Williamsholler. He has some very beautiful music there that I always enjoy listening to!)
