Website Construction
Since I am really hoping
that some of you will take the website option, I thought I would entice
you just a bit by making it as easy for you as possible. On this
page you will find the best of the best FREE
web graphics, websites, and HTML help. Of course, I am always available
to offer assistance as well. I am not a professional, but I know
enough about how to construct a website that I might be able to help you.
Okay, let's see what I have collected for you . . .
Free Web Space
This is where you will
"house" your website. Each of these organizations offer a free website,
with no strings attached.
Of course,this is my
personal favorite. This is where the class website lives.

Graphics
These are the resources
that you will need to make your website appealing to the eye. Again,
all of these are free! Remember, if you use graphics from any of
these places, provide a link and give them credit. Think of it along
the same lines as citing your sources in a research paper!

HTML Help
I would personally
recommend that you use Netscape Communicator's webpage creator as it requires
absolutely no knowledge of HTML (Hyptertext Markup Language). It
is pretty much a point and click sort of program, which makes the construction
rather painless. Another recommendation would be the Corel WordPerfect
7 webpage creator. It is similar to Netscape's, but not quite as
easy to use. Of course, if you take a fancy to learning a few simple
HTML codes, you can construct your website using only a word processing
program. It's really that simple.

An Interactive Tutorial for Beginners
If your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) happens to be AOL, you are entitled to a 2 mg website as part of
your account. AOL has a very simple webpage creator available for
its users; you can find it at keyword PP2. Bear in mind that if this
is the way you choose to go, chances are your graphics will not be visible
with all browsers. I didn't learn this until too late myself; now
I have an award-winning website that Netscape users cannot fully enjoy
because of incompatible graphics. You may want to download your graphics
with Netscape and then use them in PP2 -- that will solve the problem.
Since I know PP2 like I know my own name (well, on a really good day I
know my name!), I can help quite a bit with PP2. Remember, I am more
than willing to help you in any way that I can.
