Who am I and what's the purpose of these pages?
I'm a recently retired college professor who taught
computer applications to adult students for the
University of Maryland University College.
The most accessed pages of my teaching site —
UMUC site
— were those that covered the rules for web design. A
rule is something you should follow unless you have
a good reason to do otherwise. "
To break the rules wisely,
you have to know the rules well" — Ursula K. Le Guin.
Though my teaching site is no longer
maintained, I'm in the process of publishing
the information here. I addition I use this site to
experiment with coding techniques.
I have a —
response page
— where comment and questions, from you the
"reading public," are solicited. I will respond
and publish those that seem pertinent.
Yes, I know that there are many tip sheets out there however
my students, over the years, let me know what information was
the most helpful.
Please forgive me if I'm slow at getting these
pages worked up (and yes I know that there some coding errors)
but like the cobbler, who's
children have no shoes, I'm busy designing
sites for clients.
Here are some current examples:
tom-tells-tales.org
vietnam-tragedy.org
framin.com
Do note, that in preparing these pages I have assumed that you have at least
some knowledge of XHTML and JavaScript coding. If my assumption does not apply
to you see:
W3Schools for exceptionally
good tutorials on Web related topics.
