For tutorials on using Paint Shop Pro go back to my main graphics page.

It was not long before I started to want more control of the page than Netscape would allow.
Don't get me wrong Netscape was an excellent WYSIWYG * composer but like all of it's kind it has to guess what you have in mind and write the HTML the way it thinks you want. It just couldn't read my mind even when I swore profusely at it.

This was when I went looking for help with HTML and stumbled upon Arachnophilia, an HTML editor which would do everything for me while I learned what it was doing. Amazingly it was, and still is, a free download.
If you want to follow my tutorials it would be best if you also download it.
Just click on the link and scroll down the page
until you find 'Acquire the Arachnophilia executable.'


From what I had heard from people wiser on the web than me I was expecting HTML to be a cross between Chinese and Antient Egyptian hieroglyphics.
What I found was an extremely structured language which is easy to understand in it's concept.
There are lots of things that it controls which means there are many things to learn but you need know nothing in the beginning to get started if you allow Arachnophilia to do all your scripting.

In case you are interested, and I certainly was, you can read about the man who programmed Arachnophilia here

Wherever possible I use screenshots in my tutorials because a picture is still worth a thousand words.
Hopefully this will take the mystery out of HTML. I will go slowly but once you have the idea you will be amazed how easy it is.
