Making simple things simple
If all you want to do is create a simple “I exist” Web page, either for yourself
or for your business, you don’t have to go through the rigmarole of figuring
out HTML or learning a tool, finding server space, and so on. Chapter 3 helps
you use Google Page Creator, a tool from the leaders in Web search, Google.
To see how easy publishing on the Web is, just turn to Chapter 3 and get
started. You’ll be a Web publisher with just a couple of hours of effort.
Making difficult things possible
If you want to concentrate on one type of media at a time, Chapter 4 talks
about writing words for the Web and shows you how to create a blog;
Chapter 5 talks about creating images, especially photos, that are online-
ready, and tells you how to manage photos on Flickr; Chapter 6 discusses
making sound files and tunes Internet-friendly, and how to get a tune up on
MySpace; and Chapter 7 focuses on videos — how to trim their massive
storage requirements and get one up on YouTube.
