5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to plan, design, and create web pages!, June 14, 1998

By	Steve ([e-mail]) (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This book is a very usful tool in creating web pages. Don't let the price scare you, its well worth it. The author describes how to plan and create web pages plainly. Almost everything you need is on the Web or on the CD. The software is great, although most is shareware. I like how kids are used as examples for the lessons. And the comments by the author's niece. The book is easy to read and very informative. Much more helpful then a regular manual. I recomend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for any kid who is interested in making a site!, March 16, 1999

By A Customer

I thought this book was very good, it showed us (kids) some HTML basics, how to make a webpage with GeoCities, etc. I like how the author's niece gave a little tip at the end of each chapter. And the activities made sure you know what they're talking about. I would definitely recommend this book to any kid who wants to make a page or site.
