HTML tricks of the masters

  • When browsing the Internet if you see a web site doing something you like or are curious on how they did you can view the source code. See document CH000746 for additional information about how to do this.
  • Your main page should, in one way or another, link to ALL sub pages. Or links to sub pages, which then may link to sub pages.
  • When making your web page, always create links and image names in lower case. Most people will be searching for text in lower case and because a file name is going to be case sensitive it will help prevent problems down the road with linking.
  • If you're making a smaller web page it's ok to place all files: web page, pictures, sounds, etc. in one directory. However, if you plan on making hundreds of different pages with sounds or images, we would recommend that you place these files in different directories and/or if thousands of pictures potentially another server.
  • See our promote page for hundreds of free secrets and tips in advertising your web site and getting it higher in search engines.
  • When creating links to your sub pages or images, do not put your full URL. Instead type the path location. This helps make the transition to servers or different domains easier in the future and for pages with a lot of different links can slightly help load times. To move forward in a folder type a href="folder/file",  where folder is a sub folder of the directory you're currently in. If you need to move back a folder you'd time a href="../file", where the ../ moves back one directory.
  • When creating your web page, make your page with one topic and extend only upon that one topic. When people are looking up information on the web, usually they are looking for one thing such as music, computers, etc. If you page has information about golf, dogs, books, and some about computers, some people may become easily distracted or may find that your page must be about something else and leave.
