Web Site Assistant

So you want to create a web site? Great idea! There are few things in this world as satisfying as creating a good web site and having other people look at it, comment on it and like it.

You have many choices in the tools that you use to perform this act of creation. If you already know HTML or if you are a “purist”, you can just use the simplest, most basic program of all - Notepad. In fact, many webmasters do just that, and many of the best looking web sites are created completely by hand with no help at all from any other tool.

How do you write your code so that it shows up on all or most browsers the way you want it to look? By understanding which browsers support which tags, and using a validation service to check your code.

There are different tags that sometimes do the same thing. The problem here, is that some browers read some tags and not others. If the browser can’t read your tags, it will cause your page to appear in some way other than what you intended. The trick is to write your code in such a way that all, or at least most browsers can read and display it the way it is supposed to be.
