Though many internet service providers provide space on their server
for a home page, some don't at all, and few provide enough storage space.

The Art Of HTML is an excellent place to start for Beginers to Experts, alike. This site contains the links to the best information available on HTML scripting, as well as others. The best part is that these sites are rated according to usefulness for various levels of HTML experience. While a local (Sioux Falls) site, this is a winner no matter where your from.
Randy Finch's Home Page will be of specific interest to Amigans that want to learn HTML. Randy writes the "Web Typesetting" column for the last US Amiga publication, "Amazing Computing / AMIGA" and has some special information which is specific to Amigas. Since Amigas still blow any other home system out of the water when it comes to multitasking, Amigans love the internet!
The LaserStar Story: Amigas in web design. Lots of good recomended information.

Ptolemy by Nightspeed Productions. A tool for producing Image Maps for your HTML pages on an Amiga. Other projects are also under development here. 2.0 is complete and has been beta tested and as soon as the docs are written it will be sent to registered users
WebMap
is a tool for creating ImageMaps on the Mac. However, WebMap's page
(above) doesn't seem to have WebMap available for downloading anymore
(the last time I visited, the file couln't be found). WebMap was
scheduled to go commercial at version 2, though, so this may be the problem.
In any event, you can download
WebMap from the brutus
PD/shareware archive server at Augustana
College, or most other Mac archives.
Mapedit
from Boutell.com, Inc. Version 2.24 is currently available for Windows
(3.1/95/NT), Linux (w/ELF), SCO Unix (3.0/5.0), HP/UX 10, FreeBSD, Solaris
2.5 (SPARC/Intel), Sun OS 4.1.3 (SPARC), SGI Irex 5.3, DEC Alpha OSF1 4.0, or you can download and compile the source for your platform.
NOTE: This site does break many of the above multimedia design
articles' so-called "rules", by citing the most important rule:
Keep your audience in mind. This mini-website is intended to provide
prospective employers (and possible clients) on graphic workstations with
a direct connection to the internet a small sampling of an artist's quality
works. Though reduction and compression of images has been employed, not
at undo sacrifice to quality.
MultiMedia Resources:
GeoCities
Home Page Resource Guide provides many neat links to resources
with which a non-artist, non-designer, non-scripter, and/or non-developer
can use to improve his/her page. Gerwin's
Animated GIF Gallery has over 1,000 animated GIFs. Some really good
ones, too! Microsoft's
Web Gallery has free images, sounds, style sheets, fonts, JAVA applets,
and ActiveX stuff available for download. ProMotion - 3D Web Animation
has some great 3D Animations and they are giving them away!
