SO ... You'd like to learn some nifty tricks to
use with web pages? Well, I'm happy to tell you what I know. If you don't
know the basics of HTML, such as formatting and links, then I suggest you read
some introductory material. I particularly like The
Yahoo's HTML
page, theThe HTML Writers Guild,
or The Web Developer's Virtual Library.
If you have some tricks you think
I should add to these pages, please mail
them to me.
