What I use to build my web pages:

Easy methods for making things thought to be difficult, like animations, long, large links lists, using fancy fonts on web pages,  getting photos into your site without owning a scanner, etc...

Using bookmarks to make links:

If you use Netscape, you regularly "make" and update a web page already: your "bookmark" file. The Netscape bookmark file is an HTML file that is automatically generated by Netscape, and located inside the "Program" folder in the "Netscape" folder. To use it to make links in other web pages, you load it into your web editor, then copy and paste the links from one page to the other. This is much faster than typing in the hyperlinks yourself. DO NOT "save" the bookmarks file after you do this, since the simple act of loading it into your editor will corrupt the self-generating file system! Just dump the bookmarks file that is in your web editor once you are finished with it.

You can simply copy your whole bookmarks file to your web to create a long, organized links page as well.

GIF Compression:

To compress GIF files down to their smallest file size for quick loading, you just surf to the broken link where you can load in your GIF and within 5 seconds get back several choices for reduced size versions, for free. Do not use this utility for animated GIFs.

To include a GIF Wizard engine into your site so your users can reduce their files while online in your site go to broken link and pick up the short code you insert into your page.

Fancy Fonts on Web Pages:

To get funky fonts on your pages get Free TrueType fonts that you can put into your own pages to make many viewers see YOUR sites in unusual fonts. Nearly all Windows users with either Netscape or Internet Explorer (a large percentage of surfers) can see these fonts. For example:

Arial
Arial Black
Impact
Courier New
Verdana
Comic Sans MS
Times New Roman 
Lucida Calligraphy
Lucida Handwriting

If you see any of these fonts looking different from your usual printing, you have that font already! (Your regular printing may be Times New Roman or Arial already) If you don't, you can pick up them and others at the above site for viewing the fonts as well as using them.

Putting Your Photos on the Web Without Buying a Scanner:

You can put your own photos on the web, without a scanner, by sending your photos to Seattle Film Works . Prices are cheap, and the scans can be delivered to you via the Internet within a week. Most local photo processors will also scan your photos at the time of processing for an extra fee. Seattle Film Works will also do scans of photos, slides or negatives you have processed earlier.
