Here are some of the people/sites/software that we have used, and continue to refer to, in order to learn and use HTML and CSS.

PageTutor.com

Joe Barta's website. His free basic HTML tutorial got us started in HTML - way back in the last century! Joe's tutorials are the best we've seen on the Internet. They're very well paced, and so thorough that we keep them installed on our computers as a quick reference for when, not if, we forget how to do something. Very highly recommended!

This obnoxious flashing ad is our hosting service. They seem to be a real bargain - lots of value for the money.

Here is a site I find extremely helpful. The guru there, Stu Nicholls, is a hardworking and bright inovator. He does a lot of developmental type work using CSS - laying out the pathways the rest of us will follow, so to speak. His totally CSS dropdown menus were a revelation to me; I thought the only answer was java script, but Stu shows how it can be done using only CSS. And his CSS-only photo albums are a thing of wonder. His site is well worth visiting if only to see what's possible using CSS and what one talented man, working part time, can accomplish.

Another very useful site, done by Christopher Heng. It is chock full of free stuff that will help anyone who wants to design, build and/or maintain a web site. He also has written several good tutorials, including a good basic start-off tutorial for Nvu.

This probably doesn't belong on this page. Nvu is a web authoring tool: think Dreamweaver or FrontPage, but free. (You don't always get what you pay for, sometimes you get more!) Nvu is a reworking of the old Netscape Composer. We code by hand, but we learned how to use Nvu just to see if maybe an authoring tool might be a faster or easier way of doing things. Sadly, for us the answer was no. The old saw about trying to teach old dogs new tricks, I suppose. BUT, if you want to use a web authoring tool, we recommend Nvu as being well worth the effort of learning to use it.
