HTML HELP

So you want to make a web page do you? I have had several people ask for my help so I decided to make this page to show how I made my page.

Ok first things first, you need to get a site!! here are some places to get one free.

Note: GeoCities is my personal choice I have found that is much easier to edit and upload files than the others. They also have many help files to get you started.

Now for some help with HTML

HTML for beginers

Now for some color-- here is someone that gives you codes for different colors

Hex and Color codes

Ok next you need to find Backgrounds and Images for your site :)

BIG TIME NOTE: Make sure that your text and links are readable to others. I do not know how many sites I have visited where I could not read the text because the background over-powered it.

Here are some places to go for linkable and uploadable gifs

Draac's Free Gifs 123
Over 25 pages of free gifs most are animated.
Gini's Designs
Great background sets (background used in Gallery Section)
Background City
More backgrounds (background used in Links Section)

Want to add a drop down menu for easy navagation ? Like this--

Here is the code make sure to change the FILE_NAME to go with your files.
<center> <FORM> <SELECT NAME="list"> <OPTION SELECTED VALUE="FILE_NAME.html">FILE_NAME <OPTION VALUE="FILE_NAME.html">FILE_NAME <OPTION VALUE="FILE_NAME.html">FILE_NAME <OPTION VALUE="FILE_NAME.html">FILE_NAME <OPTION VALUE="FILE_NAME.html">FILE_NAME <OPTION VALUE="FILE_NAME.html">FILE_NAME </SELECT> <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Click to Go" onClick="top.location.href=this.form.list.options [this.form.list.selectedIndex].value"> </FORM> </center>

NOTE: OPTION SELECTED-- will show first no matter where it is in the list.

I plan to add more to this page when I think about it-- or if someone ask me something that is not here. If you have questions please e-mail me and if I can answer it I will.
