About Our Web Page

  • All of our pages were created using Microsoft Front Page Express. For more information on Microsoft Front Page, a better version of Front Page Express, visit www.microsoft.com/frontpage.

  • I have also used AOL Press to edit our pages. It's free, and you get get it at www.aolpress.com or through home.cnet.com.

  • You can also create web pages using HTML. This language is easy to learn, and there are a number of simple tutorials that will guide you through the process. Two comprehensive sites are www.htmlgoodies.com and www.stars.com.
  • To make big html projects easier to manage, you may want to use an HTML editor. Several are available for download free of charge. I was happy with one called FirstPage 2000. You can get it at www.evrsoft.com.
  • The best way to try out different web authoring tools and HTML editors is to download a variety of programs and see what you like best. There are two excellent web resources for downloading free and trial software: home.cnet.com and www.tucows.com. Both of these sites rate and review the products they offer, and with a few clicks you can download your picks. You can also find suggestions for software at www.stars.com.
  • There is an endless amout of free clip-art available on the internet, including images, buttons, backgrounds, borders, fonts, and more. I like to visit www.clipart.com as a starting point. Should you want some vector clip art (useful when you want to change the size of an image without losing quality), visit www.clipartdownload.net.
  • Want to make some free buttons for your web page? I used the button maker at www.coolarchive.com.
  • You can also get free hosting on the internet -- a "place" to put up your web page(s). I have had good experience with www.geocities.com. There are plenty of others, like www.homestead.com, a site that lets you build java-based pages.
