Some possibly useful guides are listed below. Whether these are much better than carrying on from where you are already is debatable. It's amazing what you can achieve in a weekend with not too many distractions, and with simple instructions and/or some web searches. Many people may also have access to other programmes that simplify composition, eg PageMill (used for this site), GoLive, Dreamweaver, HotMetal. Avoid the temptation to do too much - or put the flashy bits down side-links, not on the first page.

There are useful gifs etc all over the web. You download them to your machine by right-clicking on a PC, or by click-and-hold on a Mac (or by dragging the image onto your desktop). There may be some available via the CSPPD IT pages. Nick stuff from this website, and anywhere else where it's legal, with impunity. Don't nick what's likely to be copyright - or at the very least, link to the source.
