Resources for: DIY WEB SITES

To jumpstart your Web site designing experience, I've prepared a sample page that you can use. It looks like this:

To use it, just download the files (by clicking on this link, and saving to a new folder on your desktop or other folder.) The HTML pages and graphics are contained within a zipped file. If you don't yet have a program for unzipping, Winzip is a good one. Open the file called tutorial.htm in your HTML editor to see how it's constructed. You're welcome to use these files as you wish.

Here are links for the online resources mentioned in the article:

• Yahoo!Geocities for hosting (including assorted Add-Ons);
• Mozilla , which includes the "Composer" HTML editor;
• Photoshop Elements for creating graphics and editing photos;
• Flaming Text automatically creates animations and other effects;
• FreeStockPhotos.com (please note their terms of use);
• About.com has an assortment of interesting fonts to download

Have fun!
