Create a Personal Web Page HTML Help

A drawback of many editors (the free ones, anyway) is rather limited on-line Help capabilities, often lacking in details on HTML specifics. You can find many references to HTML and Web basics on the Web that you can print for reference. There is also an on-line HTML help file that you can use along with any editor.
For on-line help, get the Freeware HTML Reference Library. The HTML Reference Library is a Windows 95 HLP file detailing (with numerous screen shots) the syntax and use of all the HTML Mark up elements supported by commonly used browsers (i.e. Netscape, Internet Explorer and Mosaic). It also includes a color editor that will easily allow you to pick text and background color combinations and give you a preview of how text will look in the combination you select. The Bare Bones Guide to HTML is comprehensive "cheat sheet" for Web publishers. The Bare Bones Guide -- which is used by thousands of Web page designers worldwide -- lists all of the HTML tags in common usage. You can either view the tags of interest, formatted using HTML (with links to more details) or the plain text version, which doesn't have the additional information but can be printed out in one document for convenient desk-side reference. (This is also available in 14 languages other than English.) For general HTML style information, a handy reference is the University of Buffalo references and tutorials page. This comprehensive list provides links to a variety of useful HTML reference materials. |
Web Page Resources
|
A comprehensive resource for Web developers can be found at the Web Developer's Virtual Library (WDVL). Well maintained, its best-known resource is the Library of Web Development with well over 2,000 annotated links to web developer resources. Also, there's over 1,000 more links in the Bookmarks section.
Joe's Garage presents an annotated HTML index, with links to HTML editing and Web page creation resources, including graphics, guest books, etc., to enhance your Web page. You can also join Joe's Garage and acquire his cool graphics for your page as well as a reference to your page on his site (free advertising). A good source of HTML guidelines and resources (with a good selection of annotated examples) can be found at Thomas Rumley's HTML Learning page here at GeoCities. |
