World Wide Web.
It is a non-proprietary format, based upon
SGML,
for describing the structure of hypermedia documents -
plain text (ASCII) files with embedded codes for logical markup,
using tags like <A> and </A>
to structure text into
tables,
hypertext links
interactive forms,
headings, paragraphs, lists,
and more.
It can be created and processed in a wide range of tools from simple
plain text editors to sophistocated WYSIWYG
(What You See Is What You Get) authoring tools.

Website Navigation
This page deals with how to design a website to optimise the user's experience and benefits from it. Especially oriented towards the "Information Architecture", i.e. designing the organization and navigation systems that help users find information, this
topic is a meld of concepts from traditional architecture, library science, user interface design, and usability studies.
Navigation 101
No matter how good a site looks, or how much useful information it offers, if it doesn't have a sensible navigation scheme, it will confuse visitors and chase them away. A simple, understandable navigation scheme can increase your number of page impressi
ons, boost return visits, and improve your conversion rate. It's a critical aspect of site design that has a direct effect on the bottom line.

HTML Standards Compliance - Why Bother?
Most pages on the web don't comply with the W3C's HTML specifications.
In some cases this is because their authors wanted to take advantage
of proprietary extensions; but in many other cases, the pages could
easily have been made more compliant without any problem. This article
explains what the issues are, and why you should and how you can,
bring your pages into compliance with the HTML standards.
XHTML™ 1.0: The Extensible HyperText Markup Language
What is 'Validation'?
XHTML is a reformulation of HTML 4.0
as an application of XML 1.0.
XHTML 1.0 specifies three XML namespaces, corresponding to the three HTML 4.0
DTDs: Strict, Transitional, and Frameset.
Each of these three namespaces is identified by its own URI.
XHTML 1.0 is the basis for a family of future document types that extend and
subset HTML.
Introduction to XHTML, with eXamples
Update: XHTML 1.0 was released on
January 26th as a Recommendation by
the W3C. XHTML 1.0 is the first step
toward a modular and extensible web
based on XML (Extensible Markup
Language). It provides the bridge for
web designers to enter the web of the
future, while still being able to maintain
compatibility with today's HTML 4
browsers.

There have been two burning questions among developers recently:
"What is that favicon.ico not found error that is filling my Error_log?" and
"How do I get a custom icon next to my bookmark link in Internet
Explorer?" These may sound like unrelated questions, yet both can be
answered at the same time. This article explains how to create the
icon, where to place it on your server and how to add it to your html
files.
