Anyway, I especially like how to view a webpage's html source.
WebMonkey cheatsheet: no longer able to open through website in syllabus, but one enterprising soul in our class found it and posted the url in our discussion boards. I like this page and bookmarked it for further experiments in html, like when I make my myspace page all fancy.
CSS Tutorial: but this is were the really fancy stuff comes into play. Good to know and this has also been bookmarked.
Article: Beyond html: An article taking us through the process of a university library trying to make sense out of its web pages. From total independence and incoherence they attempt to get a library game plan going. I takes 3 years for the web development librarian to get the library in shape enough to begin paying attention to its departmental web pages. They were flexible with many variables in this living process: from what service to use ( they went with the free one and not the expensive shiny one) to how they allowed librarians to make their pages: some used html, some spent a lot of time, some were assisted in cutting and pasting. Some mistakes were made and changes followed as the authors respond to the reality of library web pages. All in all, a great process piece.
Musddiest Point: Why do not I have SimpleText? Is there another Mac equivalent to notepad?

I really like and agree with you notes/comments. I bookmarked those sites myself, they were very helpful and interesting, im sure they will be of a great help with our final assignment
No Simpletext on a Mac? I can't believe it. Have you clicked on the magnifying glass and typed in "simple text" or "simpletext"?
Maggie, whenever I read your comments, I feel that I am able to understand the parts of the required reading that I could not.
Hi Maggie,
I really thought the "reveal soure" tip was cool too. It makes it much easier to know "just how did they do that?" I did a web search on your muddiest point and several suggestions and tips came up. There apparently is a plain text setting for Macs, but many users suggested some different freeware options. You might try doing a search too.
Would TextEdit be the simple text editor you are looking for with the Mac? Mine is hiding in applications - I'm running Leopard. Just as a note you can also edit the html for your posts. I've noticed other have, but I wasn't sure how. I guess now I know.
