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
|
| In addition some robots honor the following meta tag on a web page:
<meta
name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
|
|

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. |
