I really don't have a clue where to start with a webpage. It just seems
like it will take forever and there are so many details to mess
with...details that I think will end up forgetting in the long run that will
be crucial to the success of my webpage. I have so many ideas that I want
to do and I see it being absolutely perfect in my mind. But like I said, I
just don't know where to start. I would like to get a book but don't know
which one would work best. At the end of my second year of college (last
year) I picked up Microsoft Frontpage 2000 which I heard was great when
creating a webpage. Being an Architecture student, I find that I don't have
time to make a webpage. That is, during the school year I won't have time.
During Christmas break and summer break I could do it though.
The only problem is that I am confused as to where I should begin. Mabye
the solution is to take some sort of class or at least have someone come and
help me out personally. I am just not sure!
