Re: HTML Pages

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello,

Comments:

1. It is a _bad_ thing to lace your page with keywords. Some search 
engines penalize you for doing that. I discovered them by printing 
your page. The only thing I got was your blue and black text. I 
really don't like black backgrounds, and one of the reasons is that 
it is hard to print them out.

2. On the pages with downloadable stuff, is the size mentioned the 
compressed or uncompressed size?

3. "seperately" is misspelled on pages.html .

4. On the tutorial, I don't know if I would suggest that people save 
their .HTML files with an extension of .HML . Most people are using 
PC's and Mac's and more than likely their software will want to see 
*.HTML or *.HTM in the file open dialog box.

5. Validate your pages. For more information check out 
http://www.hwg.org/resources/useful.html#2.0 .

6. On the editor.html page, nothing worked for me since I have 
javascript turned off. Maybe add a note that mentions that javascript 
is required.

7. Since underlines usually mean a link, remove the underlines on the 
tutorial page section names. Bold, or even a heading (<H1>..</H1>) 
would be better.

8. The subject matter is a good idea for starting out, but there are 
a ton of HTML tutorials type pages out there. Why don't you do the 
same thing with another subject? Maybe a hobby, or a group/club 
you're a member of. 

I like the pages. Keep up the good work.
