All links in the text of this page are for other sites. While I use these sites to varying degrees, please don't hold me accountable for any glitches or errors in their content! Each text link opens in this browser window, but if you click the icon on the right of the text link, it will open in a new browser window. If you use this icon, for another page, the next link will open in that same new window, so if you want many windows to open, you will have to use the 'right click> open link in new window' option. The links are organized by the following topics:

Menu of Links 

Web Design

• Tools
Colour pickers, browser marklets, super programs, all the little things that make being a web designer easier and more enjoyable.
• PHP
• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Tips, validators, and references, all the online links you need to learn how to create excellent cascading style sheets. These will make your life much easier, once you get around the browser wars (ugh).
• General Design
including colours, layout and useability. All aspects of design other than the other sections.
• Dynamic HTML
Personally, I think it is over-rated, and too slow, but in small bits, it can convey a lovely feel and function to a site. Beware using all the tools just because you can.
• E-commerce
Alternative resources, opinions and some other links to articles that may change your mind.
• Fonts and Typography
Fonts are addictive, but there are also concerns with how you use them on the web. Some of these links may help, or may clog up your hard-drive with funky fonts you look at and never use. Such is the sacrifice of the font junky...
• Graphics
Tutorials for PhotoImpact and other graphic applications, tips on how to use graphics on the web, scanning tips, resource sites and others.
• HTML, XHTML, Meta Tags
More and more, people forget that the basics, the foundation, supports the pretty stuff. Don't be on of those, make sure your structure is clean. Includes links to online validators, programs, and the latest from the w3c, you know, the folks who make the rules.
• JavaScript
Free scripts, tutorials, lessons, ideas and other online resources for those learning, those who don't want to learn, or those who recognize that using someone else's expertise is an advantage.
• Web Standards
Our goal is a standardized web. Imagine not having to keep in mind your Uncle Joe's 486 with a 13" monitor when you design! The standards we are striving for are simple - full implementation of the HTML, XHTML, CSS and XML languages in both Netscape and IE (and any other browsers). Period.
• Bulletin Boards
What good is designing in the dark. Expose yourself to your peers in one of these forums (please send me others that have heavy traffic and deal with peer support for any aspect of web design).
• Zero Cattle's local competition
in all fairness, there are a lot of different styles and options in the Vancouver area. Take a look and see, then come back to Zero Cattle and negotiate your web site!

Web Design 

Tools 

Bookmarklets - Design tools These design tools are downloaded into your browser and used from either the bookmark or the favourites section. They are simply JavaScript helpers in the move towards a better web. Samples are below:



EditPad I do all my coding in EditPad because I can open all the files at once (in one window, you know, not with 100 windows open), and do a mass search and replace, or add a bit of code to every single page. As well, this is postcardware, or rather you can download the program from his site, but he asks that you send a postcard from your city (with the city name on it) to him in Belgium. Apparently he collects such postcards, and really, for a couple of bucks postage, this is a great little -- really little -- program. It fits on a floppy with room for your HTML files if you code on the go.
     Just got a note from the creator of EditPad, Jan Goyvaerts, that says the next version due out in 2000 will have unlimited levels of undo! Imagine the freedom! The current version offers a 'save backup copy' option, but you must turn it on.

NoteTab is another alternative to NotePad, and for those who forget their tags, this is a good program. Built like EditPad (above), it offers a handy reference library and some other features that make it quite useful, like stripping HTML code to leave just the text. It comes in a freeware NoteTab Light and a not-at-all-freeware NoteTab Pro. Both are nice. Something about Europe, I guess, as this program is from Switzerland.

PhotoImpact Anyone who knows me knows I am just tickled with this economical program. Ulead creates plug-ins for PhotoShop, and have developed their own program. Version 5.0 is now available and from all reports is excellent and cures some of the missing pieces from 4.2 -- wanna buy it for me? Comes with the reknowned SmartSaver (also available as a stand-alone image saver) and Gif Animator, among other goodies.

PaintShopPro is the reputed competition. I only include the link because some like to use both. Some crazy folks use both WITH PhotoShop! What a world.

Java Script It! A Canadian programmer in Southern Ontario created this nifty little, inexpensive program that will create lots of cross-browser JavaScript effects.

CoffeeCup ImageMapper I swear by the little program. It nicely creates the code for any image map, with options for status bar messages, onMouseOver messages, rectangular, circular and other shapes for hot spots. It is fast, accurate and small. Oh, and cheap!

PHP 

PHP is an open source alternative that works with HTML. Your server needs to be configured for it, but happily, most are. When in doubt, check it out from the horse's mouth:

Cascading Style Sheets 

Style Sheets came into being in 1995 and are still only roughly supported by the popular browsers. Luckily, that is improving. If you want to move to the next tested wave of design, where the content is separate from the structure, this is for you.

House of Style

Webmonkey: stylesheets collection

BUILDER.COM - Web authoring - Web development for 4.0 browsers - get started with cascading style sheets - try the Style-o-Mattic Like the title says, this is an online CSS authoring tool. Beware, if you don't know what you are doing, you can achieve wickedly ugly pages in no time at all...

The Web Review's Database of CSS Articles Like the title says, this excellent site has a huge listing of articles devoted to CSS1, CSS2, quirks, bugs and support as well as tutorials and reference lists.

w3.org: Cascading Style Sheets the beginning and best list of links and tips and validators.

W3C CSS Validation Service Speaking of validators, this will clean it up for you, whether your CSS is online, on your hard drive or if you paste it in. The online version works best, and it will tell you where you went wrong as well as STRONGLY recommend that you have a valid HTML tree to support the CSS.

webreview.com - style.webreview.com

Web Review - A Quick Tour of CSS2

webreview.com - The Master List You MUST bookmark this site if you don't want to lose your mind with the various support of CSS. It outlines what is supported, by what browser, by what version, and how well. Want to know why your pretty code isn't working? This is the be-all and end-all of answers.

The Little Shop of CSS Horrors A dated little rant about the poor support for CSS, it is still fairly enlightening to the newbie, and entertaining to the old hack.

Web Review - Inheritance: Friend And Foe Ah, one of the little trials of learning a new language is the differences in dialect. This is a must read for the more advanced CSS author, as it helps you simplify your code and make sense of what needs to be repeated. Like those endless background: {url(images/background.gif) #FFFFFF no-repeat;} for everything!

Web Style Sheets is the official description and pile of references from the World Wide Web Consortium.

General Design 

These links contain either inspirational sites or information sites. While there are plenty to choose from, I have narrowed the selection to the ones that I like. 'Cause, like, it's my site, see?

High Five is David Siegel's flagship of design opinion. They provide sites of visual merit, though I often find the sites are both unweildly in a bandwidth sense, and poorly organized with 'creative' navigation. In their defense, they are usually artistic sites, where that sort of thing is often overlooked.

High Five Babbel-List Or more clearly, a moderated newsletter discussing web design issues.

Web Wonk On a David Siegel binge, it turns out some of his older work (1995, 1996) involved a lot of 'giving back' to the world that was starting to embrace him. To that end, Web Wonk contains dated (CSS 'cured' a lot of his concerns) but still valuable notations on layout and typography. This link is also in the Fonts and Typography listing.

AskTog: First Principles Ask Tog is a designer for programmers. He works in the useability field, literally dealing with studies on the GUI (graphic user interface) for the software you know and hate. The principles of the GUI apply to web sites, of course!

Organic is a power player in the web design game.

Razorfish

Verso is yet another David Siegel enterprise. Are you noticing a trend yet?

A List Apart is an online source for all things that are near and dear to the heart of the considerate webmaster. Notably, it discusses issues of accessibility, accountibility, design, layout, colours, content, promotion, wait, did I mention is was comprehensive? It also has a moderated newsletter with the opinions of your peers and your customers.

lynda.com The Guru of Color and the collector of inspiration. Great colour resources.

Print Design vs. Web Design (Alertbox Jan. 1999) Jacob Nielson is the Guru of Useability. If you don't know what that is, you have no right to create a web site. Learn the skeleton of your craft! This particular article discusses why what works on paper WON'T work on the web.

Art and the Zen of Web Sites An oft-touted listing of what not to do. There are so many, but this one is kinda neat, to boot. For the beginner, or a reminder for those who are immersed in the task at hand, the quotes will drive the point home.

ThunderLizard actively promotes and lists some of the better web design conference speakers. Their reference list includes summaries by recognizeable folks like Auriea Harvey and Jeffrey Zeldman .

glassdog is Lance Arthur's personal pet. Lance offers tips and a tutorial for beginners to HTML, and also to the whole concept of design. He and a partner write regular missives on the topic at hand, and his work is often at the forefront of (useable) design.

Web Page Design for Designers This warehouse of graphic information also has a list of links for other references related to design and the WEB-USE of graphics. Of special interest is the explanation of web-safe colours and typography. Not all the current articles are up to date, but this site is regularly added to.

creativepro.com - Resources for Creative Professionals, Graphic Design-Home at least, they say so. I find the tiny type impossible to read, but when I get out the magnifying glass, there are often interesting tips and tutorials to be found on most aspects of web design. This is a commercial site, they are trying to sell you things, so keep that in mind.

Designshops.com's Resource Guide for Web Designers and Developers Everyone has a list. This is broken down into various areas of design, like colour, layout, et cetera.

Dmitry Kirsanov's Top Ten Web Design Tips is a years old list by the eminent Russian graphic artist, Dmitry. Still valid, lo these many years.

Dmitry's Design Lab - webreference.com And in case you couldn't get enough, here is his new home at webreference. Step by step explanations of graphics are his forte.

Guide to Web Style: Welcome Told you everyone has a list! Well, this is one of those 'what to do' lists, from Sun.com, or the makers of Java.

4 Guys Interactive - ESSAYS Four Guys is another high profile design firm, and they have a few articles on how to be a better customer, and how to be a better designer. Of particular interest is their story of the creation of their logo.

Web Page Backward Compatibility Viewer Just like the title says, folks. Sometimes things are what they seem.

15 Minutes: Movie Stars and Web Authors This is Zeldman's tribute to the craft. Your Warhol Moment is waiting, so get going!

Princ-o-design The author of these not designed at all pages is a professor who teaches design for computing. His son put up his notes 'as is' as a reference for the rest of us. Some valuable and thought-provoking information is contained therein. For instance: Basic Concepts and Design Notes .

Scream Design is new collection by Andy of Andy Art that houses various sites dedicated to free resources and tutorials for web design.

BigNoseBird.Com: HTML, CGI Scripts and more for the webmaster- for free! In case you don't have enough reference sites for codes and scripts and tips and graphics and serverside includes and and and...

WebKnowHow.Net: Design Yet another list of links. This one is pretty slim, but offers some Real World references as well, as in books, as in you don't need electricity to see them things. Move away from the computer!

useit.com: Jakob Nielsen's site (Usable Information Technology) What more can a mere mortal say?

digitopolis - maze This is a local web design firm that when I saw their site, I thought, wow, I want to work for them... This is one aspect of their site that talks about the relationship between the customer and the web designer. Of interest to both.

digitopolis - head More of the same, but this is a list of articles about design, rants and other fascinating glimpses into the designers brain.

projectcool media I would be remiss if I didn't include this compendium of human knowledge on the topic of web design. Includes 'project sightings' where there is a new inspirational site daily, graphic tips, HTML tutorials, and more. And it has that groovy fade thing happening.

Webmonkey: e-business: E-Commerce Tutorial - Lesson 2 by Kevin Hakman of emergingmedia.com... Pretty comprehensive overview and a good place to start if you aren't sure if e-commerce is for you.

Fonts and Typography 

Yale Style Manual-Typefaces This is a vital link to educate you on the differences in fonts and their sizes on the Mac versus the PC.

fuelfonts type foundry - a small swedish type foundry! This guy has so many fonts! He designs them all himself, and does sell them for commercial use. Personal use is freeware, I believe, but check his terms of use.

[DIVIDE BY ZERO] Fonts : Free TrueType Fonts Some more personal fonts. Again, check the terms of use. And check out the Tombats -- terribly funny!

Free fonts, TrueType, OpenType - Microsoft Typography Corporations and their tight-fistedness. But a reasonable reference, regardless.

Microsoft WEFT 2 All about downloadable fonts. It hasn't really caught on yet, don't know if it ever will, but here is the Micro$oft take on things, anyway.

Blue Vinyl Fonts! Can you tell I am a font junky? (By the way, my husband thinks I should spell it junkie, as in a drug addict, but I prefer the punnier messy version).

Font Freak - Free true type fonts and dingbats for both PC and Mac Ooh, and so many of them. Careful, that hard drive isn't infinite, you know...

The Type Test This is an old, dated reference to the type issues that face web designers. If you haven't moved to using CSS, it is still applicable to you. For those of you using CSS, well, it's a good read, anyway.

counterspace From StudioMotiv, this is a history of typography. Unfortunately, it is all images, but such is the web.

0sil8 Land of the microfont. This guy actually CREATES the damn things! Interesting web effects as well in the stories area, but be prepared, if you have a 15" monitor, this is tiny stuff.

i/us -- the Dingbat pages Dingbats 'R' Us.

Graphics 

Digital Photography Reference is a page for anything digital. With excellent resources for scanning photographs and art. This reference site contains many links, expect to spend some serious time there.

phong- [Tutorials] PhotoShop Tutorials for the newbie. Fairly easy to translate to other graphics programs if you are more familiar with PaintShopPro or PhotoImpact.

Stephanie's PhotoImpact Tutorials Home Page A great listing of tutorials for PhotoImpact. Unfortunately, a lot of the tutorials seem to be by persons who prefer floral backgrounds, but if you can get past that and the endless 'jewels', the techniques are very interesting.

PhotoImpact Presets 2 Presets, for PhotoImpact.

Project Cool Graphics Zone: Anti-aliasing Wondering why your images are jaggedy? How to get them smooth? Voila, a tutorial.

Cyphen + HexColor | Color Charts | Color Palettes | Color Theory You know, I'm not sure about this. It seems to have a lot of information, but is a little weird about telling you about it.

PhotoImpact Users WebRing If you use PhotoImpact, this would be of interest to you, or if you just like looking at other people's work and feeling superior.

Designs By Mark I just love this site, even though I am not a PhotoShop user. Great tutorials, and very nice realistic rusty metal graphics. And he seems to be a nice guy, to boot.

A few scanning tips - A Simple Way to Get Better Scans Sometimes things are what they claim to be. This is one of them. Check out how to scan a 3-D object like a flower...

baye design - graphic, motion and interactive design for the web baye design - graphic, motion and interactive design for the web I guess it is a little misleading having it here, but Drew has a nice look and is very inspirational. We all need a little inspiration, don't we?

CoolText.com: Online Graphics Generator If you have no graphic skills, or not even a graphic editor, get this site to do it for you. Lots of choice, and uses GIMP, the Mac super graphics program. You choose, it makes the graphics for you on the spot. You just have to save it and upload it to your site.

Squirrels Nest Free Graphics Free graphics for those who squirrel them away. Actually, if you are getting into making your own, this can be a cool way to start. Manipulate them, recolour them, otherwise destroy these graphics and make them their own.

Matterform - Q Bullets Small navigational images and good terms of use. They have been around for years, and I use them 'wrong', but ah, well, this is the source.

HTML, XHTML, Meta Tags 

HotWired: Webmonkey A huge database of tutorials about anything to do with programming for the web, and some other stuff, too.

HoTMetaL Pro This is the first WSYIWYG program I ever used for HTML coding, then HotDog and a couple of others before the move to EditPad. But this one remains one of the better HTML Editors if you want to learn the code as well.

basilisk Basilisk II is a free Mac Emulator, for those of us who use a PC to design our sites and want to see what the little guys are seeing.

Mac Emulation Software And an article that explains why you would even want such a thing as a Mac Emulator in the first place...

Webmonkey: html: Introducing XHTML The horrors! Just when you got the hang of all the changes in HTML 4.0, they come up with a new language altogether. Or did they? XHTML is actually a combination of XML and HTML and more powerful. Read what you have to do to get your code compliant now before the rush!

Bulletin Boards 

I frequent these boards when I get a chance, mostly the WebPagesThatSuck one, of course. I am Suzanne.

web pages that suck -- Bulletin Board From the book by the same name, this comprehensive board has local 'experts' on JavaScript, HTML, spelling and grammar, graphics, and more. All the members participate at their level of expertise, but the board in general is at a semi-professional standing. what I mean is that most folks have been doing enough to have a serious information base, but few are at the professional level. By professional, I mean getting paid to do it for more than 390 hours. I don't mean to imply any subjective evaluation of skills or knowledge. Average age of this group would be in their 30's, with folks older, and some pre-teens and young teens participating as well.

Topaz Designs: Graphics and Web Design Forum A lovely forum for a lovely site. The age group seems to be teens and early twenties for the most part, interested in graphics, especially realistic and 3-D.

JoeExpert.com - He can find your answers on Web Design. Just started by the folks at CoffeeCup Software , this new board has a wide range of newbies and old hacks and some inbetween. It is an anonymous board. No distinct feel yet, as it is brand new as of 1999-10-13.

zzozz - {Fix code for web page display} If you use UBB boards a lot, you will find this a useful tool. Heck, even if you don't, it is nice to create HTML that will print right on your page without using those blasted text areas everywhere, or typing '<' repeatedly.

The Cyber-Crew Message Forum is a members only forum for those interested primarily in graphics work. The population is predominantly female, 30's plus, and most seem to create linkware sets and sell their graphic sets to web designers as well as do web design on a larger scale. Some great people and friendly attitudes. One big plus is their index of tutorials for various graphics programs, their positive attitude towards art on the web, and promotion of copyright infringement information.

Searching for Information 

Canada Post lists postal codes for anywhere in Canada, as well as offering information about special features and rates. If you live in Canada, this is an invaluable resource for personal and business shipping and postal information.

Canada411 is an online phone book that covers all of Canada, for business and residential customers. If your phone number is unlisted, you won't find it here, but for all listed information, in every published phone book, the listings including addresses and postal codes are searchable. There is a delay in updates from the printed version to the online version of a few months.

Canada TollFree offers the same sort of search as Canada411, but for 1-800 and 1-888 numbers.

These links were found quickly, I have no idea if they are good or not, but they seem to at least cover the basics. For more information on getting a counsellor, it is always in your best interests to consult with your family physician.
