Hello,

We rely on the Web every day to bring us the information we crave, 
purchase the items we desire, keep in-touch with friends and family, 
and conduct our daily lives. If you want to create web pages, but 
have no previous experience, check out the latest edition of 
Learning Web Design by Jennifer Niederst Robbins and get the skinny 
on how great websites are made.
