Links I Used While Creating My Home Pages

Band Width Conservation Society

Last June, a loosely knit group of web developers put up a couple of pages about making gif files smaller in byte size (hence, faster web delivery). Something all beginning Web page designers should know about and appreciate.

Interesting Ideas, some quite controversial and not suited to all browsers.

Designing Web Sites for Multiple Browsers Without Being Bland

THE FIRST PRIORITY of any Web page/site should be that it has a purpose and then has copy/content that will advance that purpose. If you are not offering something uniquely interesting or useful then don't bother starting up your text or HTML editor.

Hints for Web Authors

If you want to reach as wide an audience as possible, you must try to be friendly. If you begin by saying "Netscape 2.0 Enhanced! Get it or get out!" you've dismissed, and maybe offended, people that for reasons of their own are using another browser.

How do they do that with html?

I often come across a web page and say, "Wow..How did they do that?" Most of these "neat-o" pages utilize the many extensions (and sometimes bugs) of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft InterNet Explorer.

The Kinder Gentler Validator

This is a friendly, easy-to-use HTML validation service based on a real SGML parser. It is similar in function to the WebTechs validator (which is more commonly known as the "HALSoft validator"), but the returned errors are (hopefully) easier to figure out.

¥ WebTechs Validation Service

My validation service. If it passes here it is generally standard HTML though I understand that there are some comment errors and the like that may still slip thorough. You should run Webtechs with the "show parser output" option checked. This will be a line-oriented format (called ESIS - Element Structure Information Set) where the first character in each line will indicate the "parser event". The four main types of events are

	A   Attribute

 	(   Start of an Element

 	)   End of an Element

	 -   (Text) data

and the parsed output should give you a good feel how any parser is likely to handle your document.

The WDG Reference section

The WDG's reference section offers background information and technical specifications on HTML authoring. Its main purpose is not to provide browser-specific "hacks", or workarounds for browser bugs or limitations, but to give the correct way to do it. In cases where this may conflict with browsers, there will be a note explaining this.
