Hallo Donna,

I was a complete novice to webpage writing not so long ago. After
having tried various 'synthetic' web editors and had nothing but
problems (which the generous people in the rootsweb community tried to
help me sort), I downloaded a little gem at

http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/tutor

"PageTutor Download"

and followed it faithfully step by step. I write all my pages in html
and notepad and they work every time. The explanations are not only
simply given - and carefully - but they are PRECISE, ie about making
tables (always give a cell width value) and sizes of graphics (always
indicate), etc.

Just read through the first few lessons, practice a little, and in a
couple of days you'll be writing html pages, and they'll work!

If they don't, be sure someone at rootsweb will have a look and tell you
what's wrong and how to put it right. I was particularly lucky in that
Marcia helped me tremedously at the outset; she told me 'never give up
on a problem page' and that I would find it was like 'a new toy you
can't put down'. Absolutely right! Haven't had so much fun in years!

Good luck,
Caroline
