HTML: Chapter 3 (a.k.a., And All The Rest)

As a content professional in the online world, the first thing you'll learn is that you do not work in a vacuum. The minute you publish your work it's available to millions of people simultaneously.

Millions of people. Simultaneously.

This, of course, is a blessing and a course — I mean, curse — because it means your work is up for criticism the minute you hit the "Upload" button in your FTP program.

Which means it's got to be right the first time ... and you've got to grow thick skin to withstand the slings and arrows of an outraged public. Because even if you cross all your t's and dot your i's and spell the word "curse" correctly, someone's going to find something wrong with your work, and they're going to let you know how they feel.

And many of you let me know via email exactly how you felt about my HTML tutoring.

With one nasty exception, the messages went something like this: "Dear Chris, your HTML columns have been pretty interesting so far, but I've found your other columns much more insightful and entertaining. Please give us more of those ASAP."

Instant email feedback. It's one of your most valuable tools as a content professional and you're a fool to dismiss it. But that's a topic for another column.

All of this is my long-winded way of saying, "I hear you. No more HTML instruction after this week."

Of course, I'm not going to leave in the lurch anyone who's been eagerly devouring the HTML columns and relishing the arrival of a fresh one.

So this week, we're ending with a roundup of some of the finest HTML tutorials the Web has to offer.
