my experimental web site. It
permits me to create and test HTML code as I study web design. Most
of the pages below were created in
Dru Morgan's
Web Design class at the Venice Skills Center, Venice, California.
I used Notepad and Tripod FreeForm, as well as FrontPage and Dreamweaver,
to create these and other pages.
|
| You might wonder why some pages are included.
The reason is that they were exercises I did to learn HTML (HyperText
Machine Language). I have included them as a reminder
of what I have done and as a reference in case I need to check how something
can be done. |
| These exercises are in a book on web design
called HTML and XHTML in 24 Hours by Dick Oliver (Fifth Edition),
Sams Teach Yourself Series, Indianapolis, IN 46290. This book is
widely available. You may try the online exercises for free at the
24 Hour HTML
Cafe. Don't be afraid! You'll have fun! |
| Venice Boulevard is the backdoor
to my primary web site,
Tuxedo Junction,
which showcases my love of jazz and big band music. I modified
all of my web pages and created many new ones as I studied HTML in Dru's
class. You'll find plenty of articles, photos, and more than 300 MP3
56K songs on
Tuxedo Junction! |
The good news today is that you can hear many
of these great songs right here on Venice Boulevard! All you
have to do to hear music all day, all night, all the time, just click
Jukebox!
|
You will need to download and install the free
Crescendo Internet
Music Player to hear this great music! There are exceptions,
especially
Windows
Media Player, which requires the free...you guessed it! Right
now, you're hearing Artie Shaw's rendition of Now We Know
featuring Martha Tilton, thanks to the HTML code we placed on this
page that uses your browser's media player.

When you click on these links, you'll be taken
to Tuxedo
Junction because this site, Venice Boulevard,
is hosted by Tripod for free. That means I have to abide my their
bandwidth restrictions. Having even one song on this site could push
me over their monthly one gigabyte bandwidth limit in no time. Why?
Because more and more people keep visiting Venice Boulevard!
But listening to any of the songs on
Tuxedo Junction
has no impact on Tripod. So listen to your heart's content!
|
| And suppose you hear a jazz and big band song
you really like. You want to buy the CD. So maybe you'll pick it up
the next time you go to the Mall. |
|
|
|
|
| You'll find dozens of links
arranged by artists and styles of music that will take you exactly where
you need to go at amazon.com. It's fast, easy, safe, convenient. |
| Now, while we're talking about music, if you
are a dyed-in-the-wool jazz fan, you should be able to answer a very
easy question: |
