Why pay someone to make business cards for you when you can do it yourself? All you need is Adobe Photoshop, a printer, and some cardstock (available at Staples or similar stores). This tutorial will teach you how to make a basic business card. This is by no means the only way, and you can alter the design any way you want. Just do whatever you think will look best. Let’s get started. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to the New Webmaster-Source! We’ve migrated most of the site over from the old host to the new one, entered most of our content into Wordpress, built a new layout, and made some other changes as well.

The topsites are down, but they will be back shortly. The old forum is just gone, replaced by a link to the NTugo Forum.

Well, we’re a blog now in case you didn’t notice. Look for much more frequent postings than ever before.

So you want to set up a website? A professional quality website that doesn’t look like you threw it together in 10 minutes? If you don’t care about content or spending time on a site, stop reading.

NOTE: This is NOT a lesson in HTML, CSS, or Photoshop. If you don’t already have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, read a book or website. Read the rest of this entry »

When you make changes to your site (add another link to your navigation, completely change the layout, etc.) you probably have to make changes to all 172 HTML files. Right? Do you wish you could just change it once? You can (if your host allows PHP, anyway). Read the rest of this entry »

Webmonkey is one of the oldest webmaster tutorial sites around. They update their content regularly and sort it into meaningful categories. The content is well-written and easy to read. If you’re a beginning webmaster, head over to Webmonkey. I’m also fan of their MonkeyBites Blog, which covers tech news,

This About.com minisite has links, articles, and things for new webmasters. There’s quick guides to HTML and CSS, along with software buyer’s guides, and a few other things. Unfortunately, there are too many ads.

Tutorio is a large webmaster tutorial directory. Kind of like tutorialized. They’re main page has a bunch of different types of tutorials, like Visual Basic. They also have horrible navigation. To select the category you want, you click on of of many different-sized links on a sidebar on the right. Is a tagcloud really a good idea for a tutorial site?

Now this is a good site. FreeWebmasterTips.com is pretty much composed of short one-page tips and tricks pages on a variety of subjects like making pages load quick, preloading graphics, hiding e-mail adresses from spambots, etc.

DevelopingWebs.net is an interesting site with HTML, CSS, and Photoshop tutorials (well, there’s more than just that). Some of the tutorials seem a little cheesy, but a lot of them are okay.

Whois.net is one of the easiest to use WhoIs sites I’ve found so far (and the easiest to remember). I like their “Get a Domain” form, which checks multiple TLDs at once, to aid you in findind a cool domain. They say they have “$10 domains” as well, but it doesn’t say if that’s per year or for two years. For domains, you want 1and1 ($6/year!)</a>.
