This site is definitely aged in the greater scope of web site. (It's actually so old that we hosted one of the most popular History of The Internet webpages for years before Wikipedia came out.)

I like to keep some of the original introduction from years ago, though. Contractually, there are some "forever" ads left on this welcome page.

About a million people, plus or minus, had taken my original course, HTML: An Interactive Tutorial for Beginners. - Check It Out if you want to see how I taught web coding 20+ years ago.

I'm working on some new design resources. Check it out so far -- TheSiftedBits.

I wrote a paper called Cancer: Facts and Thoughts in high school, that has been stolen quite commonly years ago that people wanted to turn in as theirs. I also co-developed the video game called "The Cancer Game."

I made a more modern HTML/CSS combination course, teaching valid standards that was sold in Apple's iPad AppStore for years. It's not currently in the store, but you can learn more about Web Design Basics at the jokingly named "Crazy But Lazy" web site. It's named that because it's primary app goals are fun games.

HTML: An Interactive Tutorial for Beginners, mentioned above, taught what we'd now call Presentational HTML. I think beyond creating fancy e-mails, it's not really used for anything. Fortunately, CSS became functional, so we could make really cool web sites without adding hard-to-adjust styles inside every single web page. (It takes a long time to update hundreds of web pages without using a CSS file. In that case, you may also be looking for my CSS Guide -- it came out in 2002, right when CSS became popularly supported.

You can visit the entire normal home page from the 2002 era (right when CSS become popular, with only a few fun modifications.)
