Feel free to use this topic to post any useful links and websites you have found and would like to share.

For HTML Colours and pretty much everything else to do with web development go to HTML Colors (Very helpful!)

I was having trouble with the image map tool given in the study manual for Lesson 4 Lab 1 on page 169, it kept giving me a broken image ( Poor Person's Image Mapper ) so I used this Basic Image Mapping Tool instead, and it worked out well.

This is a nice freeware website button maker: http://freebuttons.org/
The freeware version has a limited number of button styles compared to the pro version, but those available can be modified extensively wrt colour, font, icons, size etc.

Hi Everyone

I found a great selection of Expression Web 4 Tutorials on YouTube, if anyone is interested they're very good and worth watching.

Here is the link : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL77A2C1E3078480DA

Hope it helps.

A useful site by W3C is http://validator.w3.org/ It validates your code by reading through it and then highlights the errors and identifies why it is an error.

Here’s how to use the tool:
Three options:
    • ...Type the URL of the page you want to validate OR upload a file OR type out the code directly into the tool
    • ...Click on “More Options”
    • ...Check the box for “Show Source”
    • ...Click the button “Check”
