Synopsis

Average people, not just programmers and web designers, are overcoming their digital fears and are clamoring to spin their own little webs. Some people are tired of being passive consumers and want to produce content rather than merely digest it. Others have information-essays, stories, jokes, diatribes, shopping lists, etc.-that they want to share with family, friends, and the world at large, but never had the opportunity before. The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Creating a Web Page and Blog, Sixth Edition, will help anyone build and maintain an Internet web site or blog. Coverage includes: straightforward, step-by-step instructions for building a basic web page or blog from the ground up; copious examples that illustrate each new concept; coverage of all the important HTML tags; tips on using fonts, colors, images, and writing for the web; extensive blog-specific information to introduce readers to this new and exciting technology and medium; simple, non-technical instructions for incorporating tables, forms, style sheets, and JavaScripts; and a "Webmaster's Toolkit" on a companion CD-ROM, providing everything the reader needs to get started, including all of the example files used in the book.
