web design, hey Todd
Kelli Traaseth
Todd or anyone else who knows web design,
Since you look like you know what to do with a web site, how do you think a person would go about designing one? Meaning, do you know of a very kid or beginner friendly web or book to assist in this? I did a search on google and the ones I found were very technical. I would like to make one with my 9ds, I have some computer knowledge but not alot. What do you think? Where do you think I should start?
Thanks, Kelli

Hi! I had a basic webpage for a little while. I found a couple of web sites that had
pretty easy to understand tutorials:
http://www.lissaexplains.com/
Written by a kid for kids (have not looked at it too
extensively but looks pretty good!):
____________________________
http://davesite.com/webstation/html/
Great tutorial...pretty dry but easy to understand (this is the one I used
to learn)
_________________________________
http://bignosebird.com/
Lots of tutorials and other fun things for webpages:
Hope that these help!

I had used some template sites--AOL's and Expages.
When I decided to move to places without ads, and to use my own code, I
swiped parts of the expage codes (you can't take everything, usually,
anyway), and by pulling the "view source" code and looking at it, I was
looking at the way they had set up things that were very familiar to me,
visually, at that point. That helped me a lot too.
And a friend did a site for me (put one of my SCA publications online) and by
looking at her code I learned to do tables. (What she did is at
http://sandradodd.com/ideas/brightideas
and what I copied from it is
http://sandradodd.com/tw/1
none of which is about unschooling, but as easy coding goes, might be worth
looking at.)
