world of computers, technology and the internet.

The 15th July 2000 issue of our e-zine would be carrying an article titled
"The Effective Webmasters' Toolbox". As part of our article creation process
we invite webmasters like you to kindly put forward ideas and resources
which you think go to make a successful webmaster and create a powerful
website.

We would be glad if you could take some time off your busy schedule and give
us your thoughts on the following topics:

· Checklist: The most essential elements of a website. For example, ease of
navigation, search function.and so on.
· Web Links: Some of your most visited links to keep yourself abreast of the
latest web technologies.
· Online Services: The online services, which can be very useful for a
Webmaster.
· Tools: A list of the useful software a Webmaster should have loaded on his
PC.

The article would be mainly targeted to the upcoming and new webmasters, so
if you have a special message or word of advise, please do let us know the
same accordingly.

We appreciate your time and effort.

Awaiting a prompt reply,

Thanking You,

1). Graphics, graphics, graphics.... and s'more graphics.
I'm a fan of saying 'WAIT, DARN YOU, WAIT!' to people who access my web sites with 28.8k and below modems.
Really, I'd assume it's a personal choice, but all I really care about is movement, and abstractness.

2).
http://www.w3.org - That's probably the best place to keep up to date with HTML, CSS, etc.
http://www.activeserverpages.com - If you want ASP, go there. No better resource in the world.
http://www.Zdnet.com - It's important to keep up with the current events in our world and the digital one as well, there's the place to go.
http://www.cnet.com - They have a lot of stuff rolled together.
http://www.yahoo.com - Good ol' Yahoo!, they've got some stuff, but it's a lean variety. Still a vast resource, however.

3). Doesn't matter, really. Personal style is all that matters.

4). Depends on the web master's style.
With me? I've got about six graphics programs and two HTML editors.

I'm closing this thread until I get an e-mail from webguru explaining what he wants out of this thread; just information, or an actual site review. Closed until further notice...
