The W3schools HTML tutorial is an excellent primer for the basic structure of Hyper Text formating. One can use Text pad to create the Web Page, but one must paste the source code into a web browser to create the web pages. I am looking forward to this week's assignment as creating Web pages was the most enjoyable class in my undergraduate course of study.
Once one gets familiar with the use of "tags" (think old fashioned word processor type writers) and learning how to use the "href" code to import links and images, it is possible for a person with little experience to build a rather complicated Web page.
CSS -Casscading Style pages allow authors to enforge a theme throughout the entire set of Site pages. This is helpful when one wishes to use links to navagate from one page to another, display a logo on all pages in the same location, provide a consistant set of font, color and other elements from page to page.
The Cheat Sheet is a handy visual reference tool, but I would suggest to anyone who falls in love with greating Web pages to get a copy of Patrick Carey's HTML and XHTML. This book will take you by the hand and lead you through the steps of Web creation with concrete examples.

Tamoul,
I am interested in your comments because you clearly have an ease with the fundamentals of technology. I thought the "Beyond HTML" article was important because it showed that although library science is increasingly reliant on technology, librarians are not as adept in fundamental software and hardware basics as they should be. For example, with your background, you have a significant advantage and will be better adept at adapting technology for your library. Do you think that there should be a uniform standard of technological education for librarians and, if so, what would you propose the curriculum should look like?
Thanks for the information on the Cheat sheet and getting a copy of the Patrick Carey's book. As someone who has never designed a web page, i must admit I am a little concerned. I like that you were able to offer another book that leads us thru this.
Thanks for the info about the book, I will have to see if my library has a copy. I am always impressed by people who know anything about computers -- I am still not clear about the difference between html and CSS, so hopefully this will be explained later on.
