Links to Other Helpful "How To HTML" Web Sites

Mine is not the only web site out there with information on how to make web pages with HTML. Here are a few links I hope you'll find helpful in learning how to make web pages

A couple all-around good "how to" -type sites

Keith Stanger's "Selected Resources for Learning HTML and Creating World Wide Web Pages" Keith is a librarian here at EMU and he has some of the best links and info about the internet you'll find anywhere available at his home page. His HTML resources page is VERY complete and a great place to go and find a wide variety of more info on how to html.
HTML for the Conceptually Challenged A funny and straight-forward guide to making web pages.
NCSA's "A Beginner's Guide to HTML." This is sort of the "grand-daddy" of all these how to html sites, organized and hosted by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

A few more advanced HTML help sites

Joe Burns' HTML Goodies Page. Strangely enough, I've met Joe because he was getting his PhD at Bowling Green State University at the same time I was. Small world... Anyway, another great source for general info on working with HTML
Webmonkey. A neat site with lots of tips and ideas for doing "fancy stuff" on your web site.
Really Big Web Builder Network. I don't know if it is the only resources you'll ever need, but seems kinda cool.
Lynda.com This is the web site for Lynda Weinman, who is a graphic artists that makes really cool web sites and writes cool books about it, too.

Background Colors

Background Colors from InfiNet and...
Dream Artists Hex Code Page .

These are the best sites about this that I know. As I discuss on the "A Very Simple HTML Cheat Sheet," you can define colors for your web page's background (and text and links, too) by adding information to the body command, information that looks something like this: <body bgcolor="#XXXXX" text="#XXXX">
This web site generates tables that gives you some ideas about what those numbers are.
Lynda Weinman's safe color page. She explains this better than I do, but basically, this is a guide to figuring out what colors work the best on the web.

Clip Art

The Clip Art Searcher A helpful site for finding clip art for your pages.
Yahoo's Clip Art Directory. A great place to get started looking for all sorts of icons and graphics.
