Warning: shameless plug below.
A couple of people here have posted about working with HTML files and
the World Wide Web, so I figured now would be a good time to mention this:
A book called "Teach Yourself Web Publishing in HTML in a Week," (whew!)
has just hit the stores. Its the first book out on how to write for
the Web, and includes a lot of information not only about the HTML language
itself, but also about designing for online and organizing hypertext
information. I like to think it has just about everything to get you
jumpstarted on creating information on the Web...but then again, I wrote it,
so I'm biased.
If you're on the Web, you can get more information about the book from http://slack.lne.com/lemay/theBook. Or, here's the short version:
