Web Research

The HTML tutorial website I found most helpful was: Davesite.com.
The URL of this website is: http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/
The main page is an introduction to HTML and explains what HTML is. The main page is geared towards beginners but as the visitor scrolls to the bottom, they can click on either advanced or basic topics to learn about.
I would recommend this site to others because it was easy to navigate, set up in a manageable way, covered a variety of topics and overall was very helpful in learning about the concepts of HTML. I found the interactive tutorial for beginners most helpful. The website was free but they do ask that visitors take a look at their sponsors.
Several things I learned from this tutorial include: How to add a link or image by using location"> opening tag and closing tag and that it is helpful to purchase a domain and web hosting packing before promoting the site you've created.

The XHTML website I found helpful was:http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com. The URL to this website is: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/xhtml.
This website is geared toward beginners but will link visitors to more advanced articles. The website breaks down its lesson in parts, a short explanation and then an example of how to do it. I love that because you're not overwhelmed with words and you can quickly scan the material and see an example.
I liked this website better than the first one, simply because it summed it up in not a lot of words and the links were easy to see and get to. I would definitely recommend this website!
I learned several things from this website: that XHTML is the future of the Internet (so it's to our advantage to learn it now) and that frames and tables are critical to web design because"It is impossible to create a navigation bar on a website without using frames or tables in one form or another".
