- Fixed an error I discovered on the HTML for Starters Chapter 4 page. Two and a half years ago when I put all the images on this site in a separate directory, I used "search and replace" to add the directory to the file name of every image. In this tutorial where I had noted that file names are case sensitive and showed examples, all the file names where changed to lower case as a result.

Introduction of "HTML for People Who Want to Learn" with HTML for Starters
- November 15, 1997
- "HTML for Beginners" was born
"HTML for Beginners" had its start on November 15, 1997. I, Tim Rivera, had just gotten a Web page from GeoCities, and I had no idea about what to put on my page. I had just learned the basics of HTML, and I decided to make my page an HTML tutorial. I was interested in learning HTML, and I wanted other people to be able to learn HTML without having to search the Web. Of course, that was before I realized that there are millions of HTML guides all over the Web.
As I continued to learn more about HTML, I would include what I learned on my page. Before too long, the page was really long and I decided it was time to make some changes. That is how "HTML for People Who Want to Learn" came to be. I spent the last week of December '97 totally reconstructing "HTML for Beginners", and renamed it "HTML for Starters". I then started working on creating tutorials for lists, tables, and frames. The frames tutorial is among the list of things that will be on this site eventually.
