We used W3Schools in ICM512 to learn XHTML. For CSS, they offer how/why use CSS, do-it-yourself tutorials, and mini quizzes. Should be very helpful in this module.

Derek Jeter is a great baseball player, but is he Hall of Fame caliber? Check out his statistics against a couple of other Hall of Hame shortstops and decide for yourself.

For anybody who has Celiac's Disease (or just wants to go gluten-free): Here is a recipe for GF pizza crust. It's a bit long, but it bakes and it should conform to the 1-f standards. Have fun.

I received a sticky note (similar to the Dashboard widget) from someone in another language. Does this happen often? If not, no big deal. If so, is there a way to set my page so that only friends can contact me? Thank you.

The note popped-up on my screen similar to an iChat message. It is fine though -- I was more curious than bothered. Will post a message if it becomes a nuisance. Thanks.

Strengths: Free to join, offers tutorials and widgets, you have access to other Angelfire pages broken up by genre Weaknesses: Once you exceed certain bandwidth, you must pay. Also, I think a page that hadn't been edited in years was deleted.

This is for challenge 1-d: an intro explaining why I'm at QU and listing some of my pages on the WWW.

Not sure if this will be useful in Module 1, but I've used this for adding Flash, ActionScript, and Photoshop content. Don't sleep on this site because they offer video tutorials that walk you through each step -- very helpful to "shadow" these instructors. -- A technical resource that provides easy-to-understand tutorials for Flash/ActionScript. C#, WPF, Expression Blend, PHP, Photoshop, and more!

When choosing text and background colors, it's useful to have a hex code chart to make sure you're choosing the color you really want. I like Webmonkey's chart because the color boxes are a little bigger than most other charts. Plus, they also provide the HTML coding to change the background color in case you forget. -- The Web Developer's Resource

:) I thought I was the only one who would be amused by the name alone! I didn't realize this site was years old. Thanks for vouching for it
