HTML Software and Validation

Webber
Making the large assumption that you use a Windows 3.1/95 machine on occassion for your HTML work, you may wish to take a look at the excellent shareware HTML editor "Webber". It comes with a built-in validator, so you can interactively check and edit your documents. (Even if you primarily work with another editor, you may well want Webber for this feature alone.)

Graphic Resources

Web Wonk
Tips for Writers and Designers. One of my favorite sites! David Siegel talks about transferring standards of print layout design into the web. Controversial, but stimulating if you're concerned about design and images. At the moment, this page doesn't comply with Siegel's guidelines, but others in my website do.
Lynda's Homegurrrl Page
Lynda Weinman publishes a number of web reference works, like Coloring Web Graphics, Designing Web Graphics, and Deconstructing Web Graphics. Useful here is her Browser Safe Color Palette essay, recommending use of the 216 standard browser colors only.
Adobe
The publishers of Photoshop maintain their own site of developer tools and helpful information. Their Tips and Techniques page contains useful information.
Eric's Hot Icons
Looks like an interesting site, but will it crash your browser?

About This Page

Photoshop Web Magic, by Ted Schulman, Renée LeWinter and Tom Emmanuelides (Hayden Books, 1996) is full of step-by-step methods for creating buttons, backgrounds and even animations. I needed a place to try out (and show off) my exercises, and selected this page. Background pattern, homey wood navigational buttons--all my handiwork. Stay tuned for more as I work my way through the book.
