WebTV navigation tips.

Add regular text links to the top and/or bottom of your pages or just a single link to a site map. WebTV can not display the shared borders created by FP. This is a problem they are trying to work out, but so far it hasn't been successful. WebTV also has some other issues with JavaScript, DHTML and java so navigation created using those methods will not work either.

Wassup on the WWW FrontPage Communities? 

What should you do before publishing every time?
Recalculate your hyperlinks!
Why?
If you have added, deleted or changed references to pages without recalculation 
of hyperlinks your search bot will still bring up references to dead pages and not show your new ones amongst other things.
How?
To recalculate hyperlinks go to the menu bar and click 
Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks
It may take a few minutes depending on how large your web is. Click to say yes when asked to refresh)

4 Guest Article - Can Words Be Worth a Thousand Picture (bytes)? 
------------------------------------
Coming soon ALL of Peter de Pradines master class articles will be
available via downloadable ebook watch this space.

I've a good friend at Adobe who hates me for writing on
this, one of my favorite themes. I keep trying to tell him
that I am in total agreement with, and an avid user of, that
most excellent software and none of my scribblings are ever
likely to see him out of a job. Nevertheless he sure gets
quite fidgety when I start rambling on that it is possible
to draw effective 'graphics' with HTML text. He doesn't like
that - he feels that pictures are pictures and text is text.
Furthermore he would not be unhappy to see basic HTML text
thrown out the window all together and we just use graphics
all the time. Actually, he could just be winning his point.

I've not seen any figures on it, but I reckon that more than
a half of all images on the Web are actually text - that is
'pictures' of text that are used to get the fancy colors,
fonts and formats that we want in our headings, logos and
titles. Keep this thought in mind next time you're browsing
and, like me, you'll probably be amazed just how many text
labels, headings, captions, and miscellaneous writings
feature as graphics. You might well say that it is no great
surprise.

Web designers resort to GIFs and JPEGS whenever they want
their text to stand out. Pure HTML is not particularly rich
in text effects. On the other hand, its capabilities in
this area should not to be underestimated - especially if
you're prepared to use a little effort. It is possible to be
incredibly imaginative using the relatively primitive HTML
tags to adapt to many type sizes, colors, etc. But why
should we bother to do this?

Well, we shouldn't forget the very important benefits of
using formatted text for display. Page download times can be
drastically reduced - by avoiding unnecessary graphics, and
we also create more actual text-content which is accessible
to the search engine indexing robots. Both significant
advantages to any web page! Let's take a look at the aspects
of pure HTML text formatting.

Font Color
----------

The color and size of the font (attributes COLOR and SIZE of
the <FONT> tag) are relatively straightforward. With color
your text enjoys just the same variety of tones as any
graphic. However there is also an added advantage -
whichever color you do use in HTML, it'll never get
dithered, as opposed to the majority of colors in images!
The "#rrggbb" notation gives you the full palette of true
color, provided that the display is capable of displaying it
and provided that you use a handy device such as the
ColorCenter to choose right colors.

Take a quick surf over to the ColorCenter at:
http://www.hidaho.com/colorcenter/  and you can play with
colors to your heart's content. In fact this is a very good
first spot on your visiting list when you are initially
planning a web site or thinking about a make-over of an
existing one. It allows you to get your basic color-scheme-
template nicely matched before you begin the actual web
building!

Be it text or images display capabilities really do matter.
Don't expect that by using color specifications for fonts or
table cells you'll be able to fool the browser and get a
full 256 color non-dithered palette on a 256 color monitor.
What the browser will do in such a quite a few cases is to
approximate the colors you specify by some other, close
enough, colors but without dithering.

The worst part of it is that different browsers use quite
different, and quite unpredictable methods to choose
approximating colors. Experiments with a grayscale table on
a 256 color monitor show that both major browsers certainly
implement some sort of a randomized algorithm for the task.
I haven't succeeded in figuring out a rule that could
predict the real color of a particular "#rrggbb" combination
on a 256 color screen. Probably the best rule of thumb is to
stick to the basic 216 web-safe colors

Check out: http://www.cyberjazz.com/216color.html 

Font Size
----------

No matter what - everybody always seems to be making a big
deal out of 'size'! Well font size is no different and can
be a bit trickier. As you may have noticed, the seven steps
of font size don't have their metric equivalents increasing
in direct proportion as you go up the scale. If you've never
noticed this take a few moments to build a quick HTML table
with the same upper and lower case letter set to the seven
different font sizes. You will quickly see that the
difference between SIZE=6 and SIZE=7 is much bigger than you
might reasonably expect and certainly not in proportion to
the previous increases. What's more, remember that you web
site visitors are quite at liberty to change the base font
size (in Internet Explorer, there's even a toolbar button
for this), which certainly won't make the dependence any
more consistent.

A general design rule concerning fonts is to sparingly use
big font sizes, and especially, never use them for body
text. Remember that a font smaller than usual may look
professional and information-dense, while the same text set
in a size above the average may very well be regarded as
something too irritably amateurish.

Font Face
---------

Until recently, HTML allowed using only two different font
faces: proportional (typically rendered by Times family, if
you haven't set otherwise in your browser's Preferences) and
fixed width, or monospace (typically rendered by Courier),
the latter being usually invoked by a <TT> tag.

Ironically enough, being initially provided for use in
computer texts for code fragments and variable names,
Courier has proved very stylish and attractive for the eyes
of some designers (including me :) and thus has became
widely used for emphatic headings (sometimes it even becomes
foundation of a whole interface). If you consider borrowing
this practice, here are three suggestions: first, avoid
capital letters, second, use <B> to add visibility to the
type, and third, don't get carried away and never use it for
body text!

Now that Netscape has accepted the FACE attribute of the
<FONT> tag, we can use the third type face available on
almost any computer platform---the sans serif font (in
Windows, it is Arial). Here comes a tiny echo of the cross-
platform squalls now tearing apart the computer industry:
Although sans serif fonts are available on all platforms,
their almost indistinguishable offerings are named
differently.

Fortunately, the FACE attribute has a means to account for
this. If you write <FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva">
then you can be almost 100% sure that this will switch to
sans serif, be it Arial (used under Windows), Helvetica (on
UNIX and Macintosh), or Geneva (on Macintosh). Browser
scans the font face specification left to right and enables
the first face encountered that's available on that system.
Font names are case insensitive.

Sans serif availability is a great relief to Web designers.
Surely, such a basic font type is what they've been starving
for so long. However, it almost exhausts the benefits you
can get from this new feature, because the only three
typefaces that you can bet are on any system are exactly
these - proportional, fixed and sans serif. Of course, you
can specify any font name in the above declaration, but it
makes little sense unless you don't mind that only a little
share of your users will see the improvement.

Say, if you're a fan of Garamond, you can please your fellow
fans by writing <FONT FACE="Garamond">. Here, Garamond will
be used if it's available on user's system, otherwise the
default (proportional) font will be substituted.

After you've set a non-standard font using FACE attribute,
the <I> and <B> tags work as expected, switching to the
italics and bold style of your new font (provided that these
styles exist and are installed, of course). However, the
<TT> tag and its synonyms (<KBD>, <CODE>, <SAMP>) lose their
power whatsoever. So, to switch to a fixed width font from
within a non-standard font, you have to call it by name,
e.g.: <FONT FACE="Courier New, Courier">

Another issue to beware of is that, even if you set the same
font SIZE for different font families, don't expect them to
really look the same size. Experimenting with the table I
suggested you build above, in different browsers and on
different platforms, shows that the difference between
proportional and fixed width fonts may reach one SIZE unit
(in Internet Explorer on my machine, for example, <TT> with
SIZE=6 almost levels with the proportional font with
SIZE=5). The same holds for non-standard fonts as well.

My point here is: Resist the temptation to raise or lower
one font size to better match another, because on another
platform the difference in visible heights may be quite the
other way round. Keeping equal SIZEs, however unreliable,
is still your best bet.

Background Color
----------------

Yes, I do mean here
backgrounds for separate characters, not for a whole
document. ...What? You don't know how to do this? Of
course you do! Just think for a moment. It's as simple as
putting some characters into a cell of a borderless table
and setting the BGCOLOR attribute for the corresponding <TD>
tag. This method is not suitable for highlights in body
text because a table always starts a new paragraph, but it
is highly usable for heads which can be put entirely into a
table. And no, whatever color you specify, it won't dither!

In fact, this provides for a bit more than just text
background color, because in this way you can make
rectangles of any size, with arbitrary alignment of text
inside them (or without any text, if you so desire). Also,
you can place images inside colored table cells, and by
making cell's background the same color as that of the image
(or making the image background transparent) you can fool
the viewer's eye into thinking that you have a huge picture
there, while in fact it's mostly empty background and the
image itself is relatively small. See your HTML reference
for information about size and alignment attributes of
<TABLE> and <TD> tags.

In a word, cell background color is a great feature for
making headings, captions, sidebars, initials, etc. It's a
pity that Netscape started supporting it only in version
3.0.

When setting different font sizes in a table, remember that
the VALIGN=BOTTOM attribute of the <TD> tag results in the
characters being aligned not at their baselines, but at the
lowest extremes of their bounding boxes which extend below
the baseline the more, the bigger is the font size (to
visualize the bounding box, select a character by dragging
the mouse over it). To align at baselines, use BASELINE
value for the VALIGN attribute (whose default value is
MIDDLE).

Lining-Under and Striking-Thru
------------------------------

There's of course that set of conventional text styles in
HTML, notably the ubiquitous bold and italics which really
need little further comment - except to say that bold is
okay and italic should be avoided whenever possible! Other
styles, such as the rarely used underline and strike
through, are quite self-explanatory, so I'd better refrain
from speculating on how to use them in an unexpected way.
Enough to remember that they exist, and some day you may run
into an opportunity to use them. Underline, like italics is
best avoided as it can be mistaken for a link.

The Dreaded Blink Tag
---------------------

I suppose I should say a couple of words about the notorious
<BLINK> tag. I agree that in most cases it is incredibly
irritating (Microsoft seems to even take pride in not
supporting this tag in MSIE), but honestly I can imagine a
few cases where <BLINK> may be amusing without annoyance.
Probably the only thing to remember is that you should not
make too much text blink: One blinking character may be
amusing or useful, one blinking word may just be acceptable,
but a blinking sentence (or more!!!) is an absolute
disaster. But I think you probably already know that :)

Leonardo da Vinci would never have managed quite the same
effect on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel if he'd used a
typewriter! But don't let that fool you into thinking that
you can't build a thousand excellent graphics with a few
well chosen words (or letters :) - and they come down over
the Web connection like greased lightning! Very impressive
stuff.

PC Magazine's FontViewer V2.0
http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,,77390,.html 
The right font can add character and polish to a document, but you can have too much of a good thing. A large number of installed fonts can significantly slow down Windows, word processors, and other programs that use fonts. But how do you know which ones to eliminate? FontViewer can tell you. This upgrade to our FontViewer utility can scan the files on your hard disk and tell you which fonts you are actually using. You can then highlight fonts you don't use, and select the uninstall command to remove them. Fonts that you uninstall from within FontViewer can be reinstalled from within FontViewer. As with FontViewer 1.0, you can view and print sample text from all the fonts on your system, one line per font, for easy comparison. The program's many filter options let you restrict your view to only the fonts you're interested in. Source code is included.
