Summary: BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!
Review: This book is perfect for educating yourself in the use of HTML-4. I am a dyslexic and if it could teach me enough knowledge to create a huge and complex web-sites the ones I am creating now, it can work for ANYONE! I'd love to tell you where to drop in and see what I've done but it's against the reviewer rules, oh well, buy this and amaze YOURSELF with the results!

Summary: Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Web Page
Review: This book is very helpful. I think that the author definately worded it greatly. It is very easy to understand and helps you to create and make better your very own webpage. It does this in a simple, easy to understand way showing many examples. If you want to creat web pages just for fun or even for a living, this is a great book to learn how to.

Summary: Well-written, but out-of-date
Review: This book is very well-organized. The instructions and tips concerning HTML coding are written in simple language and are very easy to follow. Unfortunately, many of the tags which McFedries uses in his examples are deprecated. Some browsers compensate for poor, out-of-date coding but others don't. If you use this book as your reference source for HTML coding while designing a complex website, you may end up with a website that looks beautiful when viewed in Netscape (which compensates for some coding errors) but which is unreadable when viewed in MSIE. If this book weren't so out of date, I would have rated it a 4. There's no question that McFedries knows how to teach coding and knows how to write well. I only hope that he writes an updated version.

Summary: Great beginners book to learn HTML
Review: This book really starts from the ground up assuming you know nothing about HTML. It is easy to read and makes sense. The included CD-ROM is a big help by having all the examples in the book on the CD so the reader does not have to spend all of his/her time typing out pages and pages of stuff only to have it not work because of one error. I would strongley recommend this book to anyone just starting out with HTML

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book requires absolutely no "computer education" to understand. Paul McFeries has done a thourough and complete job of making this book completely comprehensible. It includes references to McFedries's website with color charts, java scripts, and more! Plus a bonus disc full of software, examples, and all sorts of stuff that he talks about in the book. You cannot go wrong with THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO CREATING A WEBPAGE.

Summary: Ok, but watch out for problems.
Review: This is a nice introduction to HTML. It is really fun to read, and gives you alot of information on HTML. But the CD rom in the back only works on Windows 95, not on 3.1 as the book states. And the mailing list and the author's web page don't exist, do you really want to trust your money to someone like that.
