HTML Help

Want to build a webpage, but not sure how? Here's some helpful sites to assist you in getting started. When you're redy to upload your pages, surf to our Help Page, entitled, "Setting up your own personal web site" You'll have your web pages online in no time!

  • NCSA's beginner's guide to HTML - This is probably your best bet for learning HTML. NCSA has all sorts of guides to tables, frames, imagemaps, and lots of other junk. This particular page is just basic HTML though.

  • Yuriy's Webforum - A nice place to ask for help for that nagging question that isn't in the any of the million "The Best HTML Help Tutorial/FAQ"s you saw. You won't be slammed for asking dumb questions. Not a good place to learn everything there is to know about HTML, but a great place for one or two questions you may have.

  • Nuthin' but Links - This is an excellent webpage for everyone. They have several helpful tutorials, as well as places to find out the hottest sites on the net and "unusual and useless" links. There is so much more, a lot of it useful to a webpage builder. They have tons of stuff, I would list it all except my page would take too long to load =) Just check it out.

  • Web Developer's Virtual Library - This site is a great starter site. It has some tutorials, and addresses other subjects such as navigation. A great beginning.

  • HTML secrets - This is an excellent tutorial of HTML.  It addresses a whole lot of stuff, and it's organized very well with the use of frames.

  • HTML Help - This site tries to cover everything you could possibly encounter while running a website. Everything from where to get an editor to the "complete" listing of HTML tags.  I doubt that the listing is current or complete however, but it is quite extensive.

  • Why? What? - This place is basically an HTML tutorial, however it also tells you where to get things. Such as POP3 mail readers or zipped graphics.

  • The Ultimate Guide To Creating  your own Homepage - This is a tutorial that goes over everything from how to create a link to how to promote your website.

  • BigNoseBird.com - This site is excellent. It gives you advice on how to build your webpage. Everything from your "front door" to cgi scripts. (Front door being the first 400 pixels of your website.) This site is extensive and covers a lot of subjects, the organization is just excellent.  I highly recemmend every web builder, old or new, go here.

  • All HTML Tags ] - This site doesn't actually advertise listing all HTML tags, probably because a tiny browser somewhere on this globe has a tag unique to only it. It pretty much lists all the tags there are however. Great if you want to do something, but you don't know the tag for it.

  • The HTML learning pages - A pretty nice page, goes over some things like frames, tables, image maps, etc.

  • Web Shock - Forget learning HTML, they'll make the entire page for you here!.. Describe what you want, and he'll try to make something adequate.  One word of advice however, you can't customize a page at all, unless you take a tiny part in making it.  Perhaps one of the templates out there would suffice?

  • The Web Help Page! - They will look at your page, and make sugestions on what you could do to make it better.

  • Canlink Help Desk - This place is basically a large tutorial, however it's organized so it's easy to find information on a particular subject. Whether it's from unnumbered lists, to preformatted text, this place is a deffinite place to check out.

  • Creating A Successful Website - This place explains how to make a good site, from organization, to tips on making your own graphics.  Even if you suck at making graphics!

  • Learning HTML - This place has tons of links to HTML tutorials and help sources. It also has an extensive list of icon places.

  • HTML forums - Several specific forums great for beginners to experts. Pretty specific, great potential.

  • HTML Goodies - This site has a lot of good information. Free graphics, tutorials, and java/javascripts.

  • Sizzling HTML Jalfrezi - This site basically goes over the basic html needed to make a website.

  • How Do They Do That? - A great page revealing the secrets of a good website. It's challenging sometimes, and when your down in the gutter, ashamed to the point of putting a few animated Barney images on your page to remove attention from the page, this place is where to go.

  • Website Garage - This place is an overall website rating place. You put in your URL, it does some tests on the page, and rates your page. My site only rates "fair", which is just above poor, however that's because of too much load time (I've been working on that, nothing yet), bad spelling (I use words like "CGI" and "guestbook"!..) and lack of links to my page from pages that are listed in search engines like Altavista. From their site though, I've discovered that I don't have many links when compared to Yahoo to my site, and that my load time is a bit high. It analyses on 4 different items, load time, spelling, site popularity, and your html. Great service. They also have "free search engine registration".

  • Dr. Watson - This place will check your html for bugs, it'll check the page for broken images and links.  Very useful for large pages.

  • Validation Service - Same thing as Dr. Watson, only less user friendly.

  • The Background Faq - This is a must read for anyone putting up a background on their page. I don't use one on NetThingies for increased readability .. I also kinda like the look I gave it without a background. =) However, this place is a great place to learn how to do things.  Did you know in the latest version of Netscape you can change the background half way through the page!?!? I didn't!
