To take advantage of this interactivity you will need at least version 2.0 of either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. This complete tutorial will take you from ground zero (what is HTML?) to uploading your page to the Net. Advanced topics such as adding sound and using frames are covered in a separate section."

HTML Goodies: The Basics
"Joe Burns, a college professor from Southeastern Louisiana University, gives us seven tutorials for seven days. When you complete The Basics, you’re awarded a diploma, and can progress to primers on image maps, buttons, forms, or any of the dozens of HTML Goodies topics. The only thing that strikes me odd is that Professor Hunt call HTML tags (you know those commands that start with "") flags. If you can live with this, HTML Goodies truly has something for everyone."

Headbone Zone
Reviewed November 22, 1999 by Allison W., 13 years old from USA who is affiliated with the site. This site is for kids like me who like to chat. It is safe because in the chat room, there is a monitor, so you can’t give out personal info. There are games on the site and it is fun!!!

Headbone Zone Chat
"Headbone Zone has nearly ten hours of chat daily, all of them monitored by Headbone-trained parents. In addition to the Kids Room, and several Teen Rooms, Headbone has a word game that includes chatting (what fun!) The day I dropped in with my son, their monitor did a great job keeping the conversation on the straight-and-narrow, and helping us when we didn’t know what was going on. Headbone has an ignore option, so you can tune out the occasional obnoxious jerk. And to report someone breaking the rules, simply click the Chat Zap button."
