Shadow's Links to Page Building Tips




Have you been surfing the Web for awhile now and have decided it's YOUR turn to have a page but don't know how to get started? Has the question "How did they do that" been popping into your head alot lately? Well, to help you out, I've listed some places here where you can get lots of info for designing your own page(s) as well as where you can get an html editor. Just remember, no one is ever happy with that first page so keep trying (G)
