Web Stuff

I've worked with the web since the late 80s: back then, it was called Usenet and the tools had names such as Gopher, Archie, and Veronica. I wrote one of the first books on HTML and taught seminars on HTML for several years. Here's some stuff I've written about web technologies, web tools, help pages, FAQs, tips, tricks, and so on.
