I started out with my resume in Microsoft
Word 97, and printed it in HTML. Not bad, but not very exciting either.
Powerpoint and Excel played minor roles in some of the later pages.

Netscape Navigator Gold 3.0 was my next step.
Better, with more control. Did a page that linked to my resume.

Web Express from Microvision Development
was my next upgrade. I downloaded evaluation copies of about four tools
reviewed in PC Magazine. I built the framework for this whole site in Web
Express 2.02. It worked well enough for me to pay the shareware registration
fee. A week later a major upgrade was released, which didn't make me very
happy. I don't use it anymore.

I don't remember how I stumbled across GIFConstructionSet
1.0Q, but I'm glad I did. I even registered the shareware
to get a licensed copy. Worth every penny (of which there
weren't many). All the
banners were done with this one. Great tool!

A page on your computer that no one else
can see is not very interesting. The (very helpful, nice) customer support
person (Hi Jerry!) at my ISP recommended cuteFTP. As soon as I choose between
cuteFTP and BulletFTP I will register one.

Resources

A good text for learning enough HTML to
start tweaking by hand is "Creating Cool HTML 3.2 Web Pages"
by Dave Taylor. I got mine at Amazon.com.
|
|
Another truly outstanding resource is Hot
Wired's site Webmonkey.
Good information and current topics. When surfers get tired of that spiffy
blinking, scrolling, inverted banner you will read about it here first.

Betsy was first to say something nice about my page ...
|
|
Then there was Glynn.
|
|
Then Mitch, then Kelli. Do you want your
name here? Okay so I'm really filling up cells in this table until I finish
the resource list to avoid resizing the table twice. Which is not to say
that Betsy, Glynn, Mitch, and Kelli aren't resources. Maybe I should be
quiet now.
