What all do you know so far?
1. You know how to establish a free e-mail discussion list at www.onelist.com
2. You know roughly what WebCT forums (used for Forums 1 and 2) and Allaire Forums (used for Forum 3) software look like.
3. You've talked some about your reasons for using the net, and we've listed some things that you feel make sites worthwhile.
4. You know that (a) HTML tags come in pairs, and (b) every page must have 4 pairs of tags:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Exotic condiments</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>Welcome to my page on tasy relishes, dips, sauces, and other liquid flavorizers from around the globe!
</BODY>
</HTML>5. You have had a look at FrontPage, and you know that
+ it generates HTML code for you
+ the FP Explorer (and Personal Web Server) is different from the FP Editor
+ the FP Editor is not very different from its competition, while the FP Explorer is radically different
+ many FP functions require your server to have FP extensions loaded. You have to ask your network administrators about these, and many of them will say no.
+ in general, FP is designed so the user doesn't have to look at code, much like Word doesn't allow you to reveal codes like WordPerfect does. To do this - FP automates or hides a lot of tasks that some people feel make page construction easier, and some feel make it more difficult
Tonight, tonight, here's what we'll do tonight...
1. What are your planned projects? Who will you work with?

3. Quick review of some basic page codes
- tags vs. attributes
4. Quick overview of table coding
5. First generation vs. second generation sites.
- First generation: Example 1, Example 2
- Second generation: Example 1, Example 2
- What's this one? This one?
6. Details of table coding
