[Woodcarver] Web Hosting-browsers (Chat)

[George Farrell]

Hi      m.bloomquist

   I am Web Master for the Arrowhead Property Owners Association.   
When I took over the website
some years ago, it had been written using MicroSlop Something  
OrOther.  The first thing that
I did was to "View Source" to see what the code looked like so that I  
could make changes to
it.  My machine then (and still is) a MAC -- the NicroSlop application  
that built the site
of course, would not work in my machine.  Beside which, the MicroSlop  
code gave problems to my
machine.   I immediately when on line to find something that would  
tell me what I was looking
at.  I ultimately found the "Bare Bones Guide to HTML".  It can be  
found at
                                http://werbach.com/barebones/
It is generic, so a website built with it can be viewed by ANY machine  
regardless of what the
browser is.
   Using this Bare Bones Guide, I was able to interpret what I was  
looking at, and to then
rebuild the site.  The site in question is
                                http://arrowheadbeach.home.mchsi.com/
I also used it to build my own site
                                http://none332.home.mchsi.com/
