Kristian Naugle's Information page

I started in about late October and early November of 1998 to make my own projects. The first was NaugleFest 99 and it was so complex in multi-media, that it was best viewed from a CD or a disk.

Note: The top frame is a navigation frame. The left image that says, "Kristian Naugle presents, NaugleFest" will lead you back to the homepage if you click on it. Most pictures have captions on my web site that can be viewed if you hold the mouse pointer over the pictures. This provides information about the pictures. If you need more viewing space to see the pages, then hit the "F11" key and that will bring your browser to full screen if you use Internet Explorer, Opera or most web browsers and hitting F11 again reverses it to normal.

The grate with the metal bars has the common links in it. Click on the text to get where you want to go.

Now I know that I don't have much for you to see at this time but I leave you with these files to observe to make time for when I get this project done.

Now as I have been making this page and learning HTML tricks like adding th HotBot search bar, it really reminds me of the pages that Tom Porter made on the internet in 1997 - 1998. He made a page on Angelfire back in the day when 100KB (100 KiloBytes) was all that they gave you for free.

He made a webpage about guitar Gods like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, and Jimmy Page. I remember his site, it is an excellent example of what I like in a webpage and looks so much what I call nostalgic HTML.

His page isn't on the net anymore. We don't know what happened to it. We would often spend hours and whole days searching the internet then. We would log into Yahoo's chat rooms under the name "bussacapp" and clear chatrooms by talking with such foul and vulgar language, many people would leave as soon as they seen our name appear on the list.

In early 1999 we would get in Yahoo's chat rooms and would talk like we were hackers (eventhough we didn't know how to hack computers) and basically bluff people into thinking that we were hacking into their computers while we were chatting to them.

Those were the days, back before Yahoo got a decent voice chat configuration. This past week that I have been making this webpage, I have admired and respected the work that Tom did in his webpage. He hand coded it himself, all of it.

Unfortunately for him, he wasn't as good of a graphic artist as I am, or else he could have done a much better job on his webpage because he clearly had very good HTML programming skills and a firm grasp on how to use them.

I got some HTML tutorials from the internet to suppliment my knowledge because I was initially taught HTML at a local vocational school but it was really basic HTML. But I found HTML 4 for the world wide web 4th edition by Elizabeth Castro to be a really good book to learn HTML programming from.

Here is the book. I bought this book in 2000 and have used it a lot
to learn HTML and brush up on my skills with.

That book is only about $20 at Walden Books or Amazon and I think that it is much more of a value for learning HTML than to buy a HTML code generator/editor program that basically makes webpages for you and gets you dependant on a program's interface. She lists some names and URLs to companies that sell webpage making software and the cheapest price is $40.

Macromedia makes Dreamweaver and sells it for $300 according to this HTML 4 book. That is insane. Even the cheap shareware HTML creation software is $40, twice what I paid for this book. Learning hard coding was well worth it for me. Because if I find a site that has some neat things in it, instead of buying an overpriced update for the HTML editor (if the feature isn't in yours already), I just simply view the source code with the web browser and pick out the code and use it in my page, since I already can identify what code does what by learning the HTML language myself.

HTML is about the easiest programming language there is to learn.
