Latest version always available from http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/

DESCRIPTION: Easy to use web page authoring tutorials covering basic
  and advanced web page design. The tutorials are in HTML format so
  you can go through them with your web browser. If you've never
  created a web page before, the basic tutorial will guide you gently
  though basics of HTML. And, if you know the basics, the advanced
  tutorials will show you how to add additional features to your page. 

THESE TUTORIALS ARE FREEWARE.
  They are not copyrighted. You may use and/or distribute them to
  your hearts content according to the guidelines below.
  - If you wish to translate them into another language, you can.
  - If you are a teacher and you want to use them for teaching
    purposes, you can.
  - If you want to include them on a CD with other Internet programs,
    you can.
  - If you are a business and you wish to offer copies of WebTutor as
    a free bonus with your regular products, you may.
  - If, for some lame reason, you copy them verbatim and call them
    your own, I will have no choice but to tell Mom, and boy will you
    be in trouble!

RE-POSTING ON THE INTERNET
  If you wish to post the tutorials unaltered on your public or
  private server, you can. However, I've put together an ad-supported
  version for this purpose. It is identical to the regular download
  except that it runs advertisements. If you want to post them on the
  Internet as a service, I'd like you to use this version:
  http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/webtutor_repost.zip

  This repostable version has active Joke Break links. If you've seen
  any of the jokes, then you know that many are on the raunchy side.
  If you run a "clean" site and would rather these links not be there
  then this is what you can do: In the root level of the WebTutor
  directory there is a directory named "other". Within this directory
  is a file named "jokes_allowed.js". Open it with a text editor and
  follow the instruction contained therein.

REQUIREMENTS:
1) Windows95/98. I've abandoned the 8.3 file naming convention. Win3x
   users may have some trouble. They should however be able to access
   everything online though. I'm not that familiar with other
   operating systems, but I'm guesing the tutorials are still plenty
   useable.
2) A graphical web browser. Preferably Netscape Navigator 3.0 or
   later. MS Internet Explorer 3.0 or later will do also. If you use
   something other than the big two everything should still be OK.
   Very old browsers might hit a few potholes though.
3) A text editor. Notepad will do nicely for now.
4) A comfortable chair and an attractive member of the opposite sex
   to tell you how computer geeks are sexy and to rub your neck if it
   gets stiff.

INSTRUCTIONS: Unzip and start with index.html. Have fun. No files are
  copied, moved, modified or otherwise scattered about your computer.
  To "uninstall" these tutorials, simply delete the contents of the
  webtutor directory.

EMAIL: I get a lot of email asking for help on this problem or that,
  and I'm afraid there isn't enough time to answer them all. I do
  answer a few occasionally however, and they all at least hit my
  eyes.

Have fun & good luck!

  pay the bills.
