Here it is. Archie Bell's Personal Web Page. Nothing too fancy, just a little information about me, myself, and I. I've been working with HTML off and on for about 2 years. I have never actually completed anything. It was the whole process of putting together web pages that I enjoyed. I think I have done every tutorial that is offered on the web. Oddly enough, they all seem to teach, and say, the same thing. So, if you decide to learn anything by Network tutorial, my advice is to find one that you understand, and stay with that tutorial. One thing that I did find while messing around is that "copy and paste" can be your best friend. I never did get the whole "code" thing, except for your basic tags that are needed. Every thing else was copy and paste. Copyright infringement? Sure, I guess, but like I said, I never finished anything, let alone put it on the web.

I would take a source code from a site I liked, copied the whole thing into notepad, and dissected, altered, hacked, what ever you want to call it, until I found out what all the codes did.

Now, I want to learn HTML, and the proper use of code. But somehow, I'm sure that the copy and paste that I have learned in the past will help me immensely. Especially on all those repetitive codes that you'll come across (hint-hint.)

If you haven't nosed around the source code of other web pages, you should give it a look. It gives you an idea of how people are making things happen on their pages. Some code you will understand, and some will look like a NASA scientist put it together. To do this, go to a web page of your choice, click on "view"at the top of your browser, then click on "source." That gives you the source code of that web page. Brain Food: The 'ource code is only for the page that is open in your browser window. If you're not sure what a line, or many lines, of code are doing, then hi-light it, and copy it to your notepad or whatever editor you are using, and save it as "name.htm", or "name.html", and re-open it in your browser. There you go. That's how I learned what I know about HTML, Yes its probably the hard way, and I've learned all kinds of bad habits, but that's why I'm at WNCC Douglas Campus learning HTML.

So, there's a little bit about me. So let's move onto myself. Click here to send your comments and suggestions.
