Make Your Web Site Resonate
Free eBook by Skelliewag.orgThe ideas and philosophy at Skelliewag.org had a strong influence on the creation of the Internet Newcomer web site. I believe that simple design and compelling content are at the heart of any successful site.
If you are in the process of building a web site, or if you have one already, you owe it to yourself to read Skellie’s free eBook, The Simple Web. Here’s Skellie:
As bloggers and webmasters, we want most or all of these things: more visitors, more subscribers, more comments, more money, more inbound links, and more people saying good things about us. Our wants aren’t in question. It’s the how that gets us. It’s how that has us reading a dozen blogs a day, trying to find the answer (or at least a little piece of it).
You can stop searching, for now. The answer is in this eBook.
It’s true, you should read this book and try to put as much of it into practice as possible. I know I will. Here’s the link:

An Internet Primer

Eva FunderburghSenator Ted Stevens, (R-Alaska), U.S. Senate Commerce Committee hearing, June 28, 2006:
They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
Well…that’s one way of putting it, just not a very good way. Let’s see if we can’t come up with a definition that’s a bit more clear. The Internet is commonly referred to as a “network of networks”, which includes millions (yes, millions) of interconnected computer networks that are operated by commercial, academic, military and government institutions. Because these networks all use the same communication protocols (rules), they can share common online services, such as email, chat, file transfer and the World Wide Web, the service you are making use of at this very moment.
