Want to Create a Web Page?
The Web Can Tell You How
If you want to learn how to create a Web page, you can look to
the Web itself for help. Here are a few of the resources available.
A Crash
Course on Writing Documents for the Web was originally written
for in-house use by the people at PC Week labs. According
to the home page, "[i]t's designed for someone who wants
to put a page on the Web but could care less about most of the
technical details ... ." It provides very simple, basic instructions
for writing a document in hypertext markup language (HTML) and
includes quick directions on how to set up the head, the body
copy, links, and images.
Writing HTML
is a service from the Maricopa Center for Learning and Instruction
at Maricopa Community College in Arizona. It includes the basics,
plus more advanced topics like creating a clickable image map.
The Barebones Guide to
HTML claims to list "every tag in the official HTML
3.2 specification, plus Netscape extensions." It is highly
recommended by the authors of the Writing HTML page listed above.
Guide to
HTML Commands is similar to the above - an alphabetical listing
of most of the HTML tags.
A
Beginner's Guide to HTML gives a step-by-step explanation
of how to build a page.
A Bad Style Page
gives tips on avoiding common mistakes. It also has links to list
of Web page dos and don'ts.
Finally, a page titled Web Mastery
provides forums on HTML, updates on specifications, and a quick
guide to the most commonly used HTML tags, among other things.
