    Someone I work with recently published this online book that teaches non-technical people how to create their first website. He's a pretty great writer and developer, and I'm quite impressed with the book. Even though most Tildes users may be more technically capable than the target audience, I'm sharing it here because I think it might be a good reference to pass along to less technical friends who are interested in dipping their toes in the world of web development.

    If you click around in the splash image on the main page there are a few easter eggs hidden in there.

      This website is lovely and your friend should feel very proud of this! It's very thoughtful and to me at least, very clearly written. I'm already familiar with HTML and CSS, but I suspect this is going to be very useful to people dipping their toes in for the first time.

    These resources are great. When I was just getting into web junk as a hobby I read a series called "HTML Goodies" that took a very casual approach to explaining things. This site seems to be in the same vein, I wish it well. Skipping around it in, it points to Neocities which is also a great host. I hope Neocities eventually got FTP or some other client access for uploads, I remember thinking that was a limitation last time I checked it out.
