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<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z75vea9hh3p4s17ond1p8ipogm53iktdbapfjgno>by
Jennifer Niederst Robbins and get the skinny on how great websites are
made.
