"Evergreen"

HTML is so much easier to learn than most people think. The hardest part for most people, it seems, is having something to say. If you are or have been an Alzheimer's caregiver, you don't have to worry about that--you've got a story. You can get started telling it right away with just basic HTML and learn as you go. If you click on your browser's "View" and "Source", you should be able to see the HTML code for most any page, and that's a good way to learn. (But don't look too closely at mine--it may be wrong. I'm still learning!) The following links will give you some instructions that will help, too. There's many more if you want to search the net, but these will help get you started:

Home Page Dos and Don'ts:

1. Do use backgrounds, graphics, and music from pages that offer them free. All you do is right-click with your mouse and save them to your computer. Then put them in as BG BACKGROUND=" " for a background, IMG SRC=" ", for a graphic, either A HREF=" " (clickable) or EMBED SRC=" " for midi music. Some sites that offer backgrounds, graphics, and music are listed on my Credits page.

2. Do not use anything from another site without asking for permisson and giving credit. Each site should tell you just what is required, and some are very specific about how credit is to be given.

3. Never link to a graphic at someone else's site instead of saving it to your computer. Click on the "Web Prestige" Icon below to find out how important this is.
