This set of pages,
Windows On The Internet,
has been specifically designed to show and use features and capabilities available in
Microsoft Internet Explorer .
While it was not the intention of the author to create pages that don't view
properly with other browsers, you may experience difficulties if you are not using
at least version 2.0 of Internet Explorer.
User Resources:
|
This site is best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can download the most
recent copy by clicking on the logo at left.

The typographic design of this site relies heavily on the availability of the fonts
Arial,
Arial Black,
Times New Roman,
Comic Sans MS, and
Impact. All of these fonts are part of the
TrueType fonts for Windows and the Macintosh that Microsoft
provides free of charge
for users to download.
In some instances, these pages also use
Lucida Sans,
Lucida Console, and
OCR A Extended. In virtually all cases where
these fonts are used, care is taken to drop back to one of the previously listed free
fonts.
Authoring Tools:
All of the editing of the HTML sources for this site was done using Notepad.
Most, or possibly even all, of the graphics seen on these pages were constructed or at least
manipulated and touched up by PaintShop Pro ,
an excellent little image-manipulation program that costs only $39. The makers of PaintShop Pro have recently
come out with a 32-bit version of their product that runs on Windows NT and Windows 95.
Feedback Wanted: This page is what I am referring to as the "Back Page."
It would be similar to the closing credits of a movie. Here is where information
about this set of pages would be found. It would include a list of the
folks responsible for these pages (as you see there on the left). It would also
be a handy location for putting copyright information, usage statistics, fonts
used in the design of the page, and sponsors, as well as listing all of the possible
product logos and such that might be appropriate.
Lately, it seems like a lot of people's "home" pages are getting cluttered up
with the various logos of their sponsors. While I can understand that the sponsors
want to push their names and identities in front of users' faces, I think
that cluttering up what would otherwise have been a well-designed page is not the way
to do it. Perhaps by using a "Credits" page like this one,
everybody can be reasonably happy with the results.
The way I am implementing it here, it would be accessible from either a "Back Page"
image (I'm using a turned page-corner graphic that I worked up), you might also want
to use it as the page behind any "Copyright (C) 1996" statements you have on your site.
Think it over, try it out, and let me know how it works for you.
And now for the fine print. This is to illustrate how this page can also serve as
your "Copyright" disclosure information:
