Learning html and so much more
You are thinking about creating a web site. Or you have one. Or maybe you blog and want to do more. There are resources out there that will get you up and over that learning curve and it won't cost you a cent.
For tutorials on everything web - from html to writing your own scripts - check out W3 Schools. It's all free. The tutorials are gently paced, bringing you along when you are ready. Do a little or a lot.
Perhaps you want some quick graphics, something catchy. Try Image Chef. This site contains dozens of cool images that are yours for the personalizing. Get your name in a cappuccino. Write Joey + Janey on a tree. It's fun, easy, and free. You can even choose from three size images.
And again, an easy, cheap way to get your foot in this door is to purchase your domain name from Otis Works and then use the free website hosting to experiment.
