One of the easiest ways to get your WAHM business online is to purchase an easy-to-use website template designed to fit your business needs. But even "easy to use" requires some knowledge on the user's behalf to get the most out of it. When I created my first website using a template, I had worked with basic HTML before, and I knew how to use an HTML editor at a beginner level. To get the most out of my templates, though, I wanted to learn more. I read (or tried to read) several tutorials to ramp up my knowledge, but technical how-to's are not my favorite kind of reading! I then turned to my library and took out every book they had on HTML, hoping that something would appeal to me, and finally make sense to my creative, but non-technical mind. That was when I discovered the book HTML: Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks (Visual Read Less, Learn More) by Paul Whitehead. It's a friendly book that you don't really have to read - just follow the brightly colored illustrations to accomplish your desired goal. You do need to know basic HTML to use this book effectively. The difficulty of each task is easy to determine because the book uses symbols to point out new spins on common tasks, tasks that require multiple steps, and tasks that require extensive skill and may involve other technologies. With these easy-to-follow instructions, I was able to perform even some of the most complex tasks to get my site working just like I wanted. Some of the tasks covered in this book are: * Using style sheets * Creating forms * Arranging objects using tables * Working with JavaScript Of course, you can always contract your website editing project to an experienced professional. However, as a new virtual business owner, I wanted to take advantage of this learning opportunity so I could manage my website more efficiently, and later offer web editing services to my clients. If you want to learn while you build your own website, and still see great results, I highly recommend HTML: Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks.
