The web is not print. You can do so much more, but then there are things you can't do. Things you must not do. There are certain [I don't want to call them rules, but they might as well be] ideas that you should bear in mind when designing your page. There is only one Golden Rule. THE GOLDEN RULE: Do your best to make everything available to everyone. That bit should be obvious, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be.

The sad fact is that not all browsers display all things the same way. It's something that I have to deal with, and it's something that you will have to deal with if you plan on building web pages. My only advice to you is to take a look at some of the resources I list on the last page of this tutorial; they will be able to go more in-depth about what works in what browsers. Most of what I told you here should render fine in the two major browsers.

The biggest problem most new designers face, is they want to do everything at once, and you can't. The best advice I can give is keep things simple. Your code will thank me, and your viewers will thank me. The most important feature of any well-designed web site is that it is easy to use.

Also: stay away from sounds, text that blinks or moves, animated images, and other distracting elements. You know what? I won't even tell you how to do those things. My advice is the same as Jeffrey Zeldman's. Don't.

I know, this section was a little brief and disorganized, but I didn't want to get too high up on my podium. I could rant for hundreds of pages about standards and blinking stuff. So we'll just move right along to uploading your site.
