Default Easy HTML
One of the biggest favors you can do for yourself as the owner of a website is to learn a bit of HTML - this gives you the freedom to make minor adjustments to your website's text, font, links, and images without having to pay someone to do these things for you. This will not only save you money but will put you that much more in control of your business - which is, of course, one of the reasons you wanted your own business in the first place!

Following is a great link with quick and easy instructions for very basic HTML tags and code. You can learn how to create bulleted lists on your site (to better offset your list of services), how to make fonts bold or a different color, how to make the text italicized or a different size, how to link pages, how to add images to your pages, etc.

Check out this great list of easy to understand tutorials written specifically with those who have *no* HTML experience at all: "If you know nothing about HTML, this is where you start"

Perfect timing Thank you! I was just about to go in search of a place to get started learning some of this. It's true that if I want to have a website (and I DO! ) it makes sense to learn how to run at least the basics.
I wouldn't buy a car or appliance without doing the same

Thanks again!

There's another one that I like to recommend also that is geared more toward children, but helpful all the same. The address skips my mind at the moment, but let me go see if I can find it.
