    I know nothing of html. In fact, the only thing that I know about it, is that I should know how to write it.

    I have spent the better part of the evening trying to submit articles on the net, and I am following everyone's direction by placing links to my site and services inside the article.

    Here is the problem..............
    I HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO DO THAT!!!!!
    Could you guys please direct this sorry excuse for a marketer to some resource tat will talk to me like I am a three year old on just how to place links inside my articles with html?

    Many thanks for all future posts!

    to insert a link into your resource box atr the end of the article use this
    <a href="http://www.yoursite.com">Name of Site</a>

    that's it! :)

    you can also use the target parameter to open the page in a new window.
    <a href="http://fby.gov" target="_blank">link</a>

    www.w3schools.com is the first place I checked out years ago when I first started coding. It has several html tutorials to walk through, and it's free :)

    w3schools is great, I use it to look things up I still may need to learn.

    But most of the things I have learned just from practicing and doing it, Adobe Dreamweaver cs3 is amazing for that, I use it to make all the websites I have done.

    If you need little things of help here or there feel free to contact me at http://www.brightboxstudios.com

    I am always open to teaching and helping people, also if you need design work done!

    There is also a link of a lot of the resources for design and web coding on there, over 100 links organized for the public.


    Enjoy Man

    You guys are great. Thank you so much.

    Is this Adobe Dreamweaver available in a store or does it need to be downloaded from a site?

    Don't use dreamweaver, get a good editor like notepad++ or textmate and learn to code from scratch. HTML should only take a few days to learn and CSS a few weeks to get a good handle on things.
