If you are going to write web pages by hand, I strongly suggest you look at a couple of the tutorials available on the web, such as:

NCSA--A Beginner's Guide to HTML Home Page
Gordon Hake's W3 Writer -A Basic HTML Tutorial
and once you get up to speed on that, you can check out all this interesting stuff:
Yahoo's page on HTML sources
  which also contais HTML to TEXT to HTML converters. Use these at your own risk, and on your own computers. DO NOT install them in 206 without first consulting me.

Once you know the basics, it's often fun to surf around the web and check out pages that you like. To find out how someone has done something, most browsers will have an option, usually under the "View" menu, that will allow you to check out the document's Source (or code). Most of what I've learned I learned through the above tutorials and by peeking at other pages.

Advanced Tools:
Perl scripting language. Useful for forms, scripts and all sorts of fun stuff.
Yahoo's links for VRML, or Virtual Reality Modeling Language which is used to create interactive 3D environments for the Web.
Yahoo's site for other languages, such as Java and SQL

Once you have your page created:

Let me, Karen Swanberg know, and I'll tell you where to put your pages, and I'll link them into the departmental site.

Don't ask ME to write your pages! I only do that under very limited circumstances, and not with a deadline of tomorrow.
