Publishing a web page can be hard to layout correctly, but there are some
really basic rules that everyone should know. For a really good source of
style guides visit the above site.
Web Page Writing Techniques
http://www.mcs.net/~jorn/html/hyper.html
Deep and hard to understand for the beginner, this site provides lots of
insights and concepts for the experienced (and budding) Web page writer.
Clickable Image Maps
http://gnn.com/gnn/bus/ora/features/miis/index.html
Russ Jones' complete and easy to understand of how image maps work.
Information for Imagemaps

Tutorial on how Web servers and browser clients read an image map.
Includes links to many "helpers" and utilities.
Tranparent GIFs
http://dragon.jpl.nasa.gov/~adam/transparent.html
Transparent and interlaced GIFs for web pages - full info site
HTML Writing Tool - Arachnid (for Macintosh)
http://sec-look.uiowa.edu
"Home of Arachnid - the easy to use HTML writer"
Second Look Computing Division, University of Iowa
An easy to use graphical HTML writer. Write your own web pages easily!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTML Writers Guild
http://www.mindspring.com/guild/
Mail-list discussion group:
majordomo@list.stanford.edu
In the body of the email message type:
subscribe html-authors-guild <your email address>
A pilot program to encourage and help new HTML writers. Includes Web page
authoring, CGI scripting and interlaced/transparent graphics. Much more
is also included in the various email discussions and dialog threads. It
is an apprentice type program where new writers are paired with experts
and undergo training and help sessions. A very good program that is now
expanding and looks to get even better.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transparent and Interlaced GIF web page
http://dragon.jpl.nasa.gov/~adam/transparent.html
ftp://csi.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/graphics/transparent.faq
If you don't have Web access, you can get a text version of the resource
list from this ftp site -
FTP to: csi.jpl.nasa.gov in the --> /pub/graphics/transparent.faq
Adam Bernstein has made a great web page for info on transparent and
interlaced GIFs. The page just keeps getting better and better. This is
a great resource and just another reminder that individuals still make up
the bulk of the Internet resources and individual effort can really make
a web page or ftp site shine bright. Corporate sites (IMHO) will never
replace individual or well-done home page sites of a determined netter.
If you're looking for info on transparent and interlaced GIFs, Adam has
attempted to collect links to all the Web and FTP resources that various
individuals and companies have made available. The info here includes most
computing platforms (Unix, Mac, PC), and also includes many applications
and programs with many tutorials. Check it out! If you don't have Web
access, you can get a text version of the resource and links list from the
FTP site shown above. If you do have WWW access - the web page URL is the
much more preferred method. Either way this site is a must for web writers!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WebChat
http://www.irsociety.com
http://www.irsociety.com/webchat/webchat.html
The Internet Roundtable Society has created WebChat server software for
free Web distribution. The software resides on a web server and includes
such features as multiple chat rooms and different levels of discussion
moderation from no moderation to heavily moderated. Since the software
exists entirely on the web server it requires no download to the users
and no software learning curve for users. Once the software is installed
on a WWW server it works with any web browser that can support forms. Most
new versions of web browsers (Netscape, Mosaic, etc.) can support forms.
A great idea whose time has come. It gives an easy to use interface much
like AOL chat rooms and does away with often cryptic IRC sessions. No
special client software is needed by users. WebChat software is available
for download (free) in versions for Macintosh and Unix. WebChat can easily
be setup on a Mac web server using MacHTTP and the total cost is... free.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WebFonts
http://io.com/user/aapex
This lets a web page designer enter any text and then choose the fonts and
the color of the text that the chosen font creates. Many web page designing
tools (shareware and commercial) limit the writer to a few font types or
worse - only one particular font face. WebFonts does away with all that and
generates HTML code to be placed in the page to code the font types and
colors to the web page. The above URL has examples of how it all works.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WebSurf
http://www.crl.com/~whisper/WEB1TOC.html
The info in here is largely non-web in nature but this publication does
offer some good advice on how to write web pages and other HTML tips.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nisus Publishing
http://www.xmission.com/~gastown/nisus
Nisus publishing offers info pages in both Swedish and English about
services (writing, editing, translation, graphic design, HTML-tagging).
Also some hints for avoiding anglicisms in Swedish, useful for those who
frequentliy write in both English and Swedish.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WebDoor (Automatic Web Publishing)
http://www.opendoor.com/WebDoor/WebDoor.html
Open Door Networks is proud to announce its WebDoor(TM) automatic Web
publishing system. The WebDoor system consists of two principal
components: WebDoor Publisher and a WebDoor account. WebDoor Publisher is
Mac-based software which guides a user, step-by-step, through the Web
publishing process. No HTML knowledge is required. A WebDoor account is
an Open Door account through which the user's Web page can be automatically
published using WebDoor Publisher. It doesn't get any easier than this
folks! Any Mac user wishing to publish web pages that is a beginner to
writing Web pages or writing html is encouraged to use this service.
All the details on WebDoor, including a guided tour and the WebDoor
Publisher software, are available through the WebDoor home page.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bare Bones Guide to HTML
http://www.access.digex.net/~werbach/home.html
The Guide is a comprehensive 'cheat sheet' for Web page designers. It
lists virtually every tag in the generally-accepted HTML 2.0 specification,
as well as all of the popular Netscape extensions and several HTML 3.0
tags. Unlike other HTML guides, this document includes little descriptive
material about HTML syntax or how to use the various tags. What it DOES
provide is a highly concise, organized listing of HTML tags that you can
keep handy when writing Web pages. The web page author invites comments and
suggestions.
Note: Kevin Werbach, the author of this web page, has written an incredibly
complete and well done page. This page is an "A+" resource for any one
wishing to learn more about HTML and write their own web pages or write
more effective web pages. Good stuff! Great info!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting information
CGI is actually a specification for passing data and info between a web
server and an external application or program (located outside of the web
page or web server software unlike the brand new HotJava protocols) CGI is
still the accepted "standard" for making calls to outside programs from
a pathway that begins with a user usually filling out a forms-based page
(web HTML document) then entering the request or query which is then passed
on to the web server and then finally routed to the appropriate program
such as a search engine or database program. The pathway looks like this...
web page ---> CGI script ---> web server ---> outside program
the results or actions of the program can be then sent back to the web page
and viewed by the users web browser software. More info on the CGI spec and
scripting can be found at the following locations...
