HTML is so much easier to learn than most people think. The hardest
part for most people, it seems, is having something to say. If you
are or have been an Alzheimer's caregiver, you don't have to worry
about that--you've got a story. You can get started telling it right
away with just basic HTML and learn as you go. If you click on your
browser's "View" and "Source", you should be able to see the HTML code for
most any page, and that's a good way to learn. The following
links will give you some instructions that will help, too. There's
many more if you want to search the net, but these will help get you
started:

Where to Find Backgrounds and Graphics:
Home Page Dos and Don'ts:
1. Do use backgrounds, graphics, and music from pages that offer them free.
All you do is right-click with your mouse and save them to your computer.
Then put them in as BODY BACKGROUND=" " for a background, IMG SRC=" ",
for a graphic, either A HREF=" " (clickable) or EMBED BG SOUND=" " /EMBED
for midi music.
2. Do not use anything from another site without asking for permisson and
giving credit. Each site should tell you just what is required, and some are
very specific about how credit is to be given.
3. Never link to a graphic at someone else's site instead of saving it to your
computer.

When you get your page about Alzheimer's uploaded, let me know the URL so I can link
it on my page of
Just remember to be honest in developing your site, don't take the source
code of others, don't steal graphics and music, don't link directly to graphics
from the source, give credit to the creators of your graphics and
music with a link back to their site. Your site may not be the greatest piece
of eye-candy but if you are honest and creative, your site will catch my eye,
and if it's about Alzheimer's and caregiving, or if it's in honor or memory of
someone you've lost/are losing to this disease, you definitely have a story to tell
that will help others.
