Why tip sheets

It seems like there is a new technology out every couple of days if not every day. Many times understanding the principles behind the new technology will help you understand how best to use it to your advantage. Since one of my primary tasks is explaining new technology to others, I frequently create HTML pages that help demonstrate various aspects of that technology or point to other websites that have explanatory pages.

"Internet Finding Tips" -- Searching: more than meets the eye

Siegel Brand^TM Single-Pixel GIFs -- Not for the timid or the gullible

Web Accessories for Internet Explorer 5 -- I'm not a big fan of IE, but if you insist on using it, you should at least play with a 'full deck'. note: These work in IE 6.x, there are no specific 6.x versions.

The accessories are in several pieces. Here are the ones I like:

• Internet Explorer 5 Web Accessories - includes open frame in new window, highlight text, image list, links list, and image zoom
• Internet Explorer 5 Toolbar Wallpaper - 'skins' for your IE toolbar
• Microsoft Web Developer Accessories - show partial source and DOM tree [shows all document element values in a pop-up window!]
