Re: [Mid] Since it's quiet

I'm usually very quiet (being at the far corner of our
barony and currently poor enough to play beggars for
real, we've been inactive lately), but I thought I'd
chime in with a good peice of advice for people new to
HTML on a budget who want to learn web design.

GO to the Case Western Reserve University HTML
tutorials. NOW.
http://www.cwru.edu/help/introHTML/toc.html

It has many points in its favor:
It's the only fully interactive CBT course on the web
with regards to HTML for beginners (AFAIK).
It is FREE. Yes, FREE.
It really is for beginners.
You can move at your own pace - stop, start, back up,
etc.
It has exercises, and quizzes.
Its pages are small enough to be manageable on a
dialup connection.
It is still considered one of the best places to start
learning HTML, even though it's nearly 10 years old.
OLD? Yep. With HTML, actually, older version code is
usually cleaner than newer versions. With an older
version of your code, you KNOW it will probably work
on every browser :)

This was the tutorial that got me from a low-budget
code-copier beginner in 1996 to a professional that
(at one time) could actually recite the tags from
memory, and could hand code in text editors with the
best of them. I have been referring people to this
site since I found it. I am immesurably glad that it
is still around.

Oh, and as far as apps go? I'm with Griz- I happen to
really like Dreamweaver, too. I've been using it since
1999.

The only thing I tend to have a problem with is
getting my content together...
