Yes, I know about all the advice on using this background, those fonts, colors, graphics, and on and on.. I'm not here to add to the general advice (although, I do agree mostly). I just want to say that yes, the idea is to have something pleasant for the group of people you wish to attract to your Website. So, my point is, if you wish to attract viewers who share your particular tastes, then use your ideas, and what you like. Don't get all confused trying to comply with every single design and style specialist... or you'll never have any fun. The whole point of a personal Web page is to have fun. I did it my way. (However, I do make sure my pages validate, which means the HTML and CSS are error free, and they are accessible to just about every browser type and version.) There... that's my e-2¢ worth. Now, on to the Website building...

that are not standard to some browsers; such as using the "&" character followed by "amp;"
rather than the "&" sign alone.] € ASCII Character Chart ¶ ‡ BigNoseBird: ASCII Character Chart ¥ [Tables are the way pages separate, divide, and move parts of the text, or graphics, without needing oozles of spaces to get graphics and text where you want it. - This text is inside a table.] |
