Introduction

Novices: Check out Patrick Crispen's Roadmap, the best introductory tutorial to the Internet. Another first stop for newcomers and a helpful refresher for old-timers is Arlene Rinaldi's The Net: User Guidelines and Netiquette. Her short chapter on the WWW is highly relevant. She agrees with The Scriptorium's recommendations in every point. What a coincidence!

The links below are suggestions to further resources on the Internet that can be of help to both novice and advanced HTML scribes. They do, however, reflect the evolving nature of HTML. Although I have found something or someone to recommend each site included here, and, in general, they support The Scriptorium's goal of design for universal accessibility and platform independence, one is likely to encounter contradictions, mistakes, product-prejudice, and personal opinion. Proceed with caution using an OSB mousepad and the brains God gave you to Evaluate Web Resources.
