ISBN: 0-7645-0205-0 As New Condition

Here's today's quick pop quiz. HTML stands for: HyperTerminal Manual Language How To Make Lollipops HyperText Markup Language HyperText MarkedOn Language Heavenly Technical Machine Language Congratulations! If you selected C (HyperText Markup Language), then you're ready for Dummies 101: HTML 4 from our popular series of Dummies 101© books. If you selected a different answer...well, maybe it's time to settle down and learn what all the noise surrounding HTML is all about and how HTML can improve your quality of life (and help you build some really cool Web pages). Dummies 101: HTML 4 combines short lessons, step-by-step instructions, real-life examples, and fun quizzes (like the one you just took) to bring you up to speed on how to use HTML to create Web works quickly and easily. Whether you're new to the wonders of HTML or just in need of a refresher course, this handy volume is packed to the brim with helpful tips and tricks to make learning HTML 4 (from the basics of HTML tags and graphics to advanced features, such as tables and forms) a snap. And the companion CD-ROM comes with all sorts of programs and exercises to use along with the lessons in the book to help you master HTML 4. About the Author Just a word about us -- so that you know who the "we" is that we refer to throughout this book. We are Deborah and Eric Ray, owners of RayComm, Inc., a technical communication consulting company. For the most part, we write computer books, including Dummies 101 : HTML and Netscape Composer? For Dummies , to name a couple. In fact (if you can pardon a little bragging), HTML For Dummies Quick Reference (this book's first edition) and Dummies 101 : HTML won international awards at the 1997 Society for Technical Communication Technical Publications Competition. And when we're not trapped under mounds of book drafts, we also give occasional seminars on HTML and Internet-related topics, and we take on other technojargonese-into-English translation projects. I, Deborah Ray (my friends call me Deb), have been a technical communicator for the past four years and have been involved with the Internet for the past three years. I taught technical writing to students at Utah State University and Oklahoma State University. I also have a variety of technical experiences, including creating various computer and engineering documents for sundry purposes. My areas of emphasis include writing, designing, and illustrating documents to meet various audiences' information needs. I, Eric Ray (my friends call me, well, Eric), have been involved with the Internet for five years and have made numerous presentations and written several papers about HTML and online information. (I like to hear myself write.) My technical experience includes creating and maintaining the TECHWR-L listserv list (a discussion forum for technical communications) as well as implementing and running Web servers. I guess you'd say that I'm a Webmaster. As a technical communicator, I focus on making "techie" information easy for normal people to understand. Thanks to our combined skills, we've reached stereotypical geek status, having side-by-side home computer workstations at which we work hours and hours every day. Our cats perch on the monitors, stare at us, and attempt to supervise our work.
