1.) What resource should I look for website creation?

There are many communities out there where people like to share their ideas,
but actual web designing is much catered for in the way of resources (or if
there is somwhere i havent come across it)

2.) What are some site that gives awards to website that had excellent
design so I can use them as example?

There are many different websites (e.g. CNet.com and Yahoo!) that give
awards to good community sites, and then there are magazines like PCGamer
which give award to good gaming sites. So it depends on what you site is
about...

3.) What books should I buy about website designing?

Well I never bought a book, the best way to learn HTML and other coding
tricks is to simply....surf! You find the best effects and ideas when
visiting other sites. (Be sure though if you are going to use somthing,
direct from someone elses site that you have permission from them)

4.) What software should I download or buys concerning website design?

Namo WebEditor 4 from www.namo.com - its the best software I have ever used
regarding website design. It has built in graphics editors and support for a
bucket load of up-to-date features. It also have built in java scripts and
applets to liven up your site.

5.) What are some scripting/programming langauge(s) should I start with
for learning and early design?

HTML and Java are the most useful ones.

6.) In later futures, what langauges should I learn for advanced website
in future?

ASP and PHP are both very flexable, I've seen many exellent sites optimise
these languages (e.g. AWnews.com)

7.) Does anyone have website to show me for examples of some web design?

to look at other peoples templates and designs try www.freeewebtemplates.com
or www.4templates.com - if your looking to see actual sites in action, try
www.active-worlds.co.uk - or awnews.com or www.darkvapor.com ...

8.) What website provider do anyone recommend and tell me why it is
recommended? For example, advantages and disadvantages and etc. (free one
only)

www.doteasy.com becuase they have very cheap rates for buying domains and
offer free bannerless hosting with each domain for free...

9.) What graphic software should I use to design GIFs and JPGs for
website?

Adobe Photoshop 6 (www.adobe.com) and Jasc Paintshop Pro 7 (www.jasc.com)
perfect combination...

a.) Is it a good idea to use some parts or pages for WYSIWYG (What You
See Is What You Ge) editor (like Microsoft Word, Microsoft FrontPage) and
some for coding
(Ultra Edit, Notepad, etc.)

Yes...its a lot quicker and saves coding mistakes...

b.) What are some good tutorial I can take to learn how to design
website?

There ar some good ones built into Name WebEditor 4...if not search the
web...there are millions...

c.) What are good FTP client I can use in order to upload files to
website?

CuteFTP 4 - great program, does everything u need...cheap too :o)

d.) Does anyone have tips and hints for me?

Tip: Keep it simple!!! Some of the best websites like some of the above, and
even sites like Yahoo.com and Google.com all utilise simple, clean
designs...

Tip: Dont use frames unless you have too, you will lose visitors using old
browsers and add a lot more complication to your site like I have had
recently with the resources section of my website :o)

e.) Should I create a two separate version of my website, one for
Internet Explorer, and one for Netscape?

Make your site to suit IE then test it in Netscape, it if dosent look right
then correct it and save it as a seperate version. So basically.....yes, if
your site dosent look right in both, make two versions to suit each...

g.) Is it ok with you that a ad banner is only on top and bottom but
doesn't refresh like Yahoo! website? Note: Also similar to Yahoo!, it
doesn't do popup windows of ad.

Yes thats fine, although I like bannerless sites, its much more presentable
becuase you dont have "SPEED UP YOUR CONNECTION NOW" or "FREE MONEY"
flashing at you all the time :o)

h.) Are there any good software I can use for special purpose like
form-creating program or etc.?

There are many java compilers out there that let you write and compile java
applets...wait till you've been doing this a bit longer before you start
moving on to things like that...

i.) Any more topics I have not thought of will be appericated (am I
spelling it right?)

No its Appreciated - and yes, Flash...Macromedia Flash 5 is a great
programme and adds interactivity to your site with only small downloads and
support for high quality output...


Hope that helped :o)

Hey everyone!

Over the past month or so AWTeen has undergone many changes, all for the
better, and they have paid off. A New GZ, A new Core, New Objects and now a
new website!

The site URL is www.active-worlds.co.uk/awteen - I'm not sure if this has
been set to the home page for AWTeen yet, but if it hasent, it will soon!

Each week the site will be updated with news, Survivor III Updates and logs
form the Core meetings.

The website (as displayedo n the page) is managed by myself and Nornny, if
you have any ideas, suggestions, faults to report or anything else, e-mail
us by clicking on either of our names on the site...

Enjoy! :o)

Pierce...would you just crawl back into your hole in JunoDome where you came
from, since your a Juno member and thats how you got here.

You have been in Active Worlds all of a few weeks, if that, and already you
think you can start campaigining for things that you know nothing about.

Mike...I know you've been around a little longer...if you want to enjoy
active worlds in the future, don't get a bad name for yourself now by mixing
with people like pierce...

Do yourself a favour and drop this childish pursuit, no-one in this NG
cares, except you two aparently...

Chuck...what do you hope to accompish from this? This NG is for AW Community
news...the best way to deal with this is to ignore the posts you don't agree
instead of adding to them with your own onslaught of insults wrapped up in
paragraphs of 'so-called' facts...

Up until now I've tried not to get entangled in this NG war thats been going
on..but if you woudl just quit already we could end this and everyone can
get bac kt oa nice enjoyable forum...

Dear Diary,

Since arriving here at the Survivor Area I've pretty much ok, I settled in
with the other contestants with a few wise cracks. Little do they all know
about my plan to assasinate Nornny. I am hiding this diary under my pillow
in my shelter and will log all the events that happen wile I'm here, for now
I will wait until I can lead the players into a false sense of security,
then I'll pounce...

Ever since leaving the AWTeen core I have been jealous of Nornny's power,
popularity and talent, little does the guy know that within 30 days he will
be dead...as the days pass by I slowly plan each intricate part of his
assasination. I won't reveal my plans yet. They are subject to change as I
slowly thing of more painfully sadistical ways to kill him. Oh yes, I drool
with anticipation.

Nornny, I will have my vengance...and although no-one knows now...I'm sure
somehow, someway, someone with read this diary in the future and will
realise who murdered Nornny, bwhaahahahaha...

Also, yesterday while out looking for fruits among the trees, I overheard a
conversation between KAH and Alphabit Phalpha. It worried me very much. They
too have a plan, a very, very sinister plan. And when they put it into
action, I fear for many of the contestants lives...I will be safe though, as
I know what they plan to do, and I will be ready...

I may approach the two about their plan in the near future, maybe an
alliance is possible. For now I will monitor their goings on and see what
the future brings...

Now I must go and cook the fish I caught, I have not told the rest of the
group about this, I am very hungary and the group rations are pathertic. I
will keep this for myself...

Dear Diary,

Usually I write my entries every 2 days, however the events that happened
today is exceptional. Whilst out in the forest again search for fruit, I saw
a small trail of McDonalds wrappers and tomarto ketchup. In the hope that iw
would lead me to food I followed the trail, after a few minuters I arrived
at a clearing, I two figures emerging in the distance...
One I could just make out as N a y r becuase i reconised the colour of his
pink leather pants...I coul'nt be sure as his shirt, which i would normally
presume to be pink also was covered in blood.

From what I could see it appeared that N a y r have a cuddly toy, like the
ones you get in happy meals, a large one...pretuding from his rectum...its
was a messy site...that wasent the end either....the figure slowly inserted
more and more free toys into N a y r passageways...

After a few minutes and 27 free toys later the wearing figure of N a y r
fell to the ground...the sickening thud wa lost in the evil laughing of the
other figure...

After the other person had left I ran over to the body of N a y r....he lay
on the floor, softly wispering to himself the Community Newsgroup Guidelines
to himself...

N a y r has since been put into rectal rehabilitation and has since stopped
posting in the AW NGs...however this has not aided my plans...Now yet
another person must be 'removed' before I can continue with my work...

First I must find N a y r's attacker...soon he will have the ability of
speech again, however his ass was damaged badly and since all he does is
talk out of it, it could be a while before I get a name...

I will continue to survay the woods each night as before and see what each
day brings...

Also tommorow night I will begin my master plan involving the assasination
of Nornny...

Until then, I remane at watch...

May 20, 2001, 9:42am

I found that last year...one of the dirs has a pic of E N Z O (Rick Noll) at
home when he was aplying with a streaming web cam in AW...the last frame
before it was switched of has bee immortalised there :o)

It was also the cause of many hours of fun adding red lip stick and pink eye
shadows to his pic, hehehe...

Dear Diary,

Nice weather today...we peaked at around 120 degrees, im just peeling off
the last of my lightly toasted skin now...

Alphabit caught me out hunting for extra food. We agreed not to tell on the
agreement i share my catchings with her...I dont mind, i have plenty now
anyways. Since it warmed up the fish are really biting...

Chuck is gone...wow...the first to leave...I wonder if he's gutted...well,
it seems his previous arguements kinda gave him a bad name...hes not all
that bad really...he was always nice to me anyways.

I have now finished stage two of my plan to assasinate Nornny. The baked
beans are in place and the scotish dentist is waiting...now I am waiting to
begin stage 3...its all coming togather nicely...

I hear N a y n r is out of hospital now...good for him, aparently he still
has a bit of a limp..and he shivers whenever a CA Bot starts reading out the
Code of Conduct, im sure he'll get over it. They even gave him the toy they
removed from his back passages in a jar to put on his mantel peice....how
thoughtful...

The mystery character that did it to him still avades my attantion. I
remaine vigilant. Tommorow night I will go to the Typo tribe and listen in
on their plans...Maybe even take a photo on me taking a whizz on their
camp...lol

Ahh, tommorow! I am reminded of 'Anne' the film...

Until tommorow night Diary...good night...

May 25, 2001, 9:12pm

Dammit Diary!

My plans are NOT going to plan...my spanish elephants did NOT come as
ordered and I cant fine my flippers...at this rate I wont be on schedule for
Nornny's final assasination...

I will have to improvise.

AlphaBit today asked me if I wanted to help her steal some things from the
Typo Camp...I turned her down...I have much greater fish to fry...instead
she went alone and stole all Chucks old things he left when he was voted
off...

Amongst the crap we found:

1 Map of south west arabia
2 Spoons
1 Wok
3 Cans of Dr Pepper
8 FHM Magazines
1 Spice girls Album

and most importantly a picture of JFK2 with they eyes burnt out...Also in a
notepad serveral pages incuded the words "Die JFK DIE"...me and Bit were
most surprised...

we will keep them for now..u never know when they will come in handy...

Now it is only 1 week until my plans comes togather against Nornny...
