I have created this page as an "Index to Answers" of the most frequently asked questions from the Virtual University's HTML, Graphics and Web Design classes. These Tutorials were created by the instructors and students to answer your questions regarding basic HTML, graphics and programs that will make web page design and creation easier. As more questions are asked, more links will be added. Bookmark this site and come back often!
Each "Tutorial Site" should open in a new browser window -- to return to this page, minimize or close the tutorial you are looking at. If a new browser window does not open, click the "Back" button to return to this page.
If you are a VU student or instructor (past or present), and have written a helpful Tutorial on a "specific topic", please send me the URL ---
