what exactly do you maybe want to put on it? more graphics? or just simply more content? have you picked out any sort of topic for your site (such as movies, computing, music, etc.)?

i a well-versed in HTML, as well as JavaScript, and a little in a few other languages. I would be willing to help you out if you'd like.

Hi BTT

I'm no HTML wiz myself (yet!) but here are some links I hope helps you out.

http://snowwhite.it.brighton.ac.uk/~mas/mas/courses/html/html1.html

And here's a cool (I think) site with buttons, backgrounds, etc.

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/

Good luck on building your site http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

CujoRbd has made a really generous offer to you BTT-- how can you beat the help of a pro?

I am just learning HTML and Java. I am looking at various books and playing. I see some interesting things I'd like to try, but would be pleased if anyone here at SysOpt knows of the best tools to do this sort of experimenting OFFLINE.

I do not yet have a webpage of my own and I have been clumsily making pages in Lotus WordPro and viewing the results in IE. This method leaves a lot to be desired. I am sure there are much better ways to play with HTML.

I have looked at some scripts from http://www.dynamicdrive.com
and they have some sophisticated things I do not yet understand (but a lot of it looks cool!).

How many here are doing their own website design? How are you doing it?

You know, web design is my favorite thing http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif I don't have my own page, because I think I'm too lame to talk about, and I don't have a "theme idea" for myself. I'm going to make my boyfriend a fun site for his Miata. I also do some work for a web company on the side - nothing creative, just the grunt work. But it's work and experience!
I started learning HTML from a "HTML For Dummies" book. That's how I start learning everything. Those books are way underrated. I start by reading those and understanding the basics. Then, after that, I start practicing and working, and then I move to bigger and more in-depth books.
Read read read. Do do do. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I attempted to do it myself-mistake.Look at it! Is it because you cant use .JPEG??

Here is a great place to start http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/tutor/makapage/index.html
and build from there

Look no further than the neighborhood you are in. Earthweb has some very good webpages that I rely on at times. www.htmlgoodies.com (http://www.htmlgoodies.com) . VERY nice site from the bottom up. Also, I visited yer site and it seems that none of the graphics are apearing. You can use jpegs. one thing you can double check: if your webhost is a unix or linux based server, then your stuff is case sensative.
Also, I think you have an error in this statement in your html:
<A HREF="http://www.anzwers.org/"><FONT SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000">www.anzwers.org</FONT></A><FONT SIZE=2> =home
that =home seems odd and out of place.

blind to truth, you must remember you aren't going to be html wiz kid after a few tries - takes a while. i've been learning for about 3-4 years and still learning and still messing up. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

anyone interested in beginning HTML should check out both NCSA (http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerPrintable.html) (they also have several viewing options (http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/index.html), including PDF (http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerPDF.pdf) and in a ZIP file (http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerAll.zip)) and HTML Goodies (http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/). They are both very good and very detailed.

If anyone is interested in JavaScript, Java (including applets, beans, and more), CGI, DHTML, or Style Sheets (CSS), definitely check out HTML Goodies (http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/), as they have a good collection of links to them.

I have many more links to these topics, as well as to several others. If anyone has an interest in a particualar area, please ask and I (as well as others, I'm sure) will provide you with some related links.

My offer is still open, BTT, so just tell me what you think. I am also pretty good at explaining things, so if I were to do the site for you (part or all of it), you would be able to learn about everything that I had done.

Just let me know.

The place I've gone whenever I have questions about HTML or JavaScript is http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/. They have step-by-step tutorials for a lot of things.

Another thing I do is look at things when I'm surfing. When I see something I like, I right-click on the page and select "View Source." This displays the HTML code. Usually I can figure out how they did something then.

Good luck http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
