What a Tangled Web We Weave

<http://lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov/users/boyce/tweb/tangled.html>

What is HTML, anyway?

• What is it for?
• What does it look like?
• And what about its history?

How to do it

• Know your audience
  • Who are you writing for?
  • What do they want to know?
• Write like a newspaper reporter on steroids
  • Inverted pyramid (most important information first, then details)
  • With HTML, the details can be on other pages.
• Concentrate on usability
• Provide easy navigation
• Use structural markup
• Consider handicapped accessibility
