Internetter's Modular Web Style Sheet

Internetter's Modular Web Page Style Sheet Instructions
(The majority of all high-end Web pages will use a format similar to this one by Jan 97. -JW 6/96)

Necessary marketing tip for Search Engines:
Describe your page in about 25 words at the top of each page. Use the and to reduce the font size and if you have a white background your viewers will not see the text, unless they are AOL-challenged. As more Searh Engines use META TAGs this method will lose it's appeal.

Formatting tips:
1. When possible always use the <CENTER>, , combination before and after all modules of your pages. This will improve readability for the AOL-challenged, et al, for example.:
<CENTER>

My favorite text

</CENTER>

2. Always end all text with a BR or P. This will make you pages more other-browser-friendly.

Place graphic here. Graphics should always be equal to or less than 6.5 inches across (the Web standard).
-Your Graphic Goes Here-
This page has 5 columns. This allows for 3 columns of information and 2 columns of space or spacer graphics. If you use a spacer graphic (like a long line running down this page) the spacer graphic block size should be about .25 x .25 inches in size. You then use the Width and Height settings to make the block thinner, wider, longer, etc. (see source code).
Note: Using a graphic spacer may cause a giant gap on the page when viewed by the AOL-challenged.

As a standard rule of thumb, keep the sum of all of your <TD WIDTH=>'s equal to less then 500 for print purposes (larger if you don't care how it looks when printed to paper). If you view the source code for this page, you'll notice the <TD WIDTH=>'s are 125, 225 and 100 (sum=450).

Blockquotes are excellent for improving the readability of your page. Only amateurs allow text or graphics to touch the sides of a page.

Predefined Text is excellent for centered footers. Remember every line is a line of text, so you can use predefined text in place of BR's and P's.

The reasons why?

1. Frames: Frames are clumsy, use excess memory and the majority of folks don't have frame's capable browsers (ok, I admit the pages are pretty).
2. Shockwave: "Hmm, where did I put that plug-in?" "Oh man, it crashed again..." Need I say more.
3. Java: "Oh man, it crashed again..." Need I say more.
4. Other plug-ins: "Hmm, where did I put that plug-in?" "Oh man, it crashed again..." Need I say more.
