This page is a great resource for web development. I have
included links to free browsers, search engine submission, tutorials, text generators,
graphics generators, clip art, midi files, e-faxing, etc... Have fun and email me with your hot links.
My Notes
-
File Types - If you do a
lot of testing between IE and Netscape on files on your local drives you'll
save a lot of time being able to right click on the file, then select the
browser you want to view the html file with. Learn how to configure
your Explorer.

Web Application Stress Tools - link to resources, vendors, tools,
etc...

I'm a Beginner, What's next:
- My site is designed as a resource tool, not a tutorial for a beginner, so here is
my best shot.
- Create your own free home page. For a beginner this may take you 4 to 6 hrs.
Make it very simple (Your name, maybe a link to www.yahoo.com). Ready, click
on www.anglefire.com.
- If you want to be able to create web pages, similiar to creating documents in a word
processor, you may want to purchase FrontPage from Microsoft. (Others: Dreamweaver,
Homesite, NetObjects).
- If you feel techy, then dive in to HTML, then JavaScript.
- Want your own web site, then home_pages.htm - How to setup
a URL, Home Page, etc...
- Actually your just begun when you get into DHTML (Dynamic HTML)technologies (JSP, JAVA,
XML, etc...). In simple terms a DHTML web page acts like an application - it is
dynamic not static.
How to setup a: Web Site, URL, Domain Hosting, etc...
Search Engines (add your site to search engines)
Search Engines
Search Engines - Technical Info
- To tell a search engine not to index a directory at your site:
- Place a file called robots.txt in the root directory of your web site.
Example: http://www.michael-thomas.com/robots.txt
- Next, place content in the file that tells the robots not to search a
specific directory at your web site. The following is an example
of excluding "/yourdirectory" from the robots indexing.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /yourdirectory
- Tell well-behaved robots to not visit your site:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
- In addition some robots honor the following meta tag on a web page:
<meta
name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

in five minutes. (Google reserves the right to sell ads on the results

Free DNS Servers (Techy stuff)
(I have not checked these sites yet. I tried to use free DNS
services but they were up and down. One day I'll experiment more. However,
here is some sites to look at.)
- http://www.realdns.com - ???
- http://www.ns1.com - ???
- http://www.granitecanyon.com - I had
problems. May I was doing something wrong.
- http://www.capibara.com/mapme.html -
free Domain Mapper.
- Comments from Bill, a site visitor - I've successfully used both "realdns.com"
and "capibara.com" - both took a while to get working properly, but they do
work. "Realdns.com" just needs to be registered with domain provider and a
couple days later should be working fine - took almost 2 weeks for capabara to manually
review my page, but since the price is free I've got no complaints! Another one I've used
that might be interesting to you - half price domains from totalnic.net
and free domains from eu.org - both work well.
Dynamic DNS Services
- www.dyndns.org - provides a dynamic DNS
services. Use this to have DNS values follow you.
- www.dyndns.com - provides dynamic DNS
services for small yearly fee.
