Choose your type style, what you want to say, color scheme, special effects, and tada... there you have it, your own banner. URL-Minder - Your Own Personal Web Robot After you have your pages up, you might want to register with the URL-Minder.

They will register whichever pages you wish to have monitored, and then they give you the HTML code to paste in your page. There are several types that you can use. Other users have uploaded their ideas on how to best use this service. When your pages have changed, each person that has registered to monitor that page will receive an email informing them of the change. Quite helpful if you have things for people to download.

If you have a Netscape Browser and would like to try some interesting things, give this page a try. JavaScript is the baby sister of Java. It can't do as much as Java can, but then it is much much easier to learn. Gamelan Gamelan is mainly for Java applets and discussions, but they have information on JavaScript as well. Check this great resource out for either of these. CoolNerds Alan Simpson is an author of several computer books, and he has information on his books as well as some JavaScript programs you can get for FREE. I have his JavaScript clock, and background sound picker on my pages. They are really not very difficult to put in, and I have found that when I had a question regarding them, he was very helpful to me on how to implement them.
