Thank you to everyone for all the help, inspiration, and terrific free stuff that makes the internet such a fantastic place to be! At some sites you'll find graphics that I have on my pages, other sites sparked my interest in learning a new skill in html or graphic building.
Please note this list was a lot more extensive in the past. I found that many of the links were to websites that were no longer up. So, I am unable to give thanks to those people at this time.
In no particular order, at least at this time: (nor is this list by any means complete!)

Web Publishing by Laura Lemay. This book is excellent for beginners, though not just for beginners! She writes clearly, in easy to understand terms. I had my first webpage up the same day I bought the book!
