AMENDMENTS
The record on this page highlights when significant updates have been made to this website. The updates made will be shown in orange text until the next significant update, when they will be shown in their normal colours.
28 Nov 2002 Additions - this 'Amendments' section and a 'References' page with many links to pages outside this tutorial providing more in-depth or informed details.
27 Dec 2002 A JavaScript adding an image to the cursor removed as it may have been annoying to some visitors.
13 Jan 2003 A link added (to the Preface page) to bookmark the site (Firefox or similar) or for adding the site to 'favorites' (Internet Explorer). Useful links placed in the righthand column. Accessibility improvements - text size and line space increased, text column width reduced, background colour made softer and max picture width reduced to 640 pixels (for displays set to 640x480 pixels). Search facilities in the 'Surfing page' changed.
19 Jan 2003 Some details on 'Downloading' added to the Surfing page. A note and a caution added to the Preface page.
30 Jan 2003 More details included in the Introduction page. Some details on Searching and Advertisements added to the Surfing page. Links 6 and 7 (Windows OS help) added. Details on ICANN (domain names, etc) added. All but one of the 'useful' links in the righthand column removed to stop them consuming download time and I don't need the meagre amount they earn!
5 Feb 2003 A link to a web hosting company added to the Website Creation page. The layout of details in the Preface and Introduction pages changed and the site edited and tidied up, eg to clarify some points concerning multipliers and units of measurement. The hyperlinked heading 'Advertisements' changed to 'Promotions', to be seen by PCs with Internet security software set to block ad's (I know - it's strange, but true!).
