The HTML Working Group is creating HTML 5 to be the open, royalty-free specification for rich Web content and Web applications. "HTML is of course a very important standard," said Tim Berners-Lee, author of the first version of HTML and W3C Director. "I am glad to see that the community of developers, including browser vendors, is working together to create the best possible path for the Web." New features include APIs for drawing two-dimensional graphics and ways to embed and control audio and video content. HTML 5 helps to improve interoperability and reduce software costs by giving precise rules not only about how to handle all correct HTML documents but also how to recover from errors.

Gene`s BMX was established in Spring of 1997 and is leading the World Wide Webs BMXing community into full potential. A history of Gene`s BMX web site and bike stats can be found at: ( Geneb ) Learning Web Design HTML & Web Accessibility For BMXMaking a great web site is also making your self a reputation. You need to be successful at presenting your ideas in an interesting manner, whatever your topic may be. Ignorance may be bliss for the one who writes the web site, but thats rarely the case for the one who visits it. If your web site looks unprofessional, so will your reputation. If you don`t know HTML you can use a Page Wizard or Page Builder or Front Page Builder that offers web page design tools that don't require any knowledge of HTML, You just add in your stuff. You can create a somewhat ok looking web page for your self in a few minutes. This is what I call a "lazy mans way" of a web site or page design. Most of the fast page builders do show bad quality in a web site and that a webmaster is in to big of a rush to make a web site-page. Fast pages are not the best way to make a web site, But it does work to get your information on line. Be Original: Take some time and LEARN the HTML codes, put some TIME & QUALITY in to your work. Build your own web site. Be your own Web-Master and Author of the content you list. Lots of people around the world will see your work and also your reputation as well. Here are some Link Sources that can help you learn the basics of HTML also some tips. As listed up above in all of the links: How To Make a Web Site? A good book for starting out is " HTML for Dummies" by Deborah S. Ray & Eric J. Ray. On The Web: step by step how to`s, HTML Tutorials & Tools http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com | http://www.htmltutorials.ca http://www.davesite.com/webstation http://www.w3schools.com | http://www.webstyleguide.com http://www.freewebmastertips.com/tips | http://www.webdeveloper.com Yahoo`s HTML Guides and Tutorials Dir. Also you can check out this nice index: Investintech.com Learning html Also: Web Development In The Classroom: Web Site Building For Kids! Once you learn the HTML codes and somewhat know what you are doing you are going to need to find a web host. Gene`s BMX web site started off in the spring of 1997 on free geocities.com and was found to be a grate place to learn and to play around with HTML. For someone just starting out on learning HTML and also building a new web site I would say learn it and host it on one of the free web hosts till you get your self going and your web site gets to be bigger over time. You can find lots of free web site host places on the world wide web to get going. Most of the free places do offer you to use your own name as part of the domain. Learning it, Making it with the free web site hosts, the only thing it will cost you is your time as they are free places to host for you. Use them at your will. Once you get all of that going, take some time and play around with how to inline your text, links, photos, logos, bump them around some, get to know your lay out. In giving time you will have it mastered down. Have fun and take pride in your work as you are learning it. Try new things with the HTML on your web site. Once you get the basics down, Don`t give up, The biggest thing I see is someone will start and then just give up as it does take a lot of time to learn it all and get it all going. Gene`s BMX wishes you lots of luck, and Happy Web Building :-) Some Other Stuff To Keep In Mind Is Accessibility Of Your Web Site. Whenever someone introduces nontext elements to a web design such as java scrips w/moving elements or animations w/moving elements or plug-ins that extend the capabilities of a web site or pages even a web site page lay out with mass java loading forms or a page that has big photos that are not thumb nailed, Are slow loading and may not load in some peoples browsers or there computer is not formatted with high speed internet for viewing. This does reduce the accessibility of your web site and pages for your web site viewers/surfers. You also risk losing your audience if you require them to jump through hoops w/downloads to view your web site contents. Using off set files like .PDF is ok, that is, if your archiving contents. A .PDF file think about it. A tool hoop that makes people has to jump hoops to view it with its own browser. Using .PDF files does make your web surfers have to jump hoops. It is a web file tool that can risk on losing your audience. Also: Is your web site fitted for a 17" monitor? A 17" monitor is the basic size of a monitor on the everyday web surfin person`s PC. So, Do your web site viewers have to scroll in on your web site from left to right at bottom of the screen to view the full web site page? If so, your web site is not fitted for the basic every day web surfer to view your web site and its pages. Alot of web sites seen out there that are making a person have to use a scroll task bar on a web site page going left to right making it a pain to surf to see the full web site page. - Fix your web site pages to fit the basic everyday 17" monitor and your web site and pages will be a lot better for your web viewers to surf, people will be back. You don`t risk losing your web site audience this way. Closed Source "Register" To View Web Site Contents & Pay To View Web Sites. Web sites are of high risk of losing a lot of web site audience if they do require people to jump through hoops to view web site contents. IE: Closed/Pay Sources. In the BMXing community the target audience is of youth and young people. So it has been found that BMX web sites that are sat up as Closed/Pay Source, it does block out a lot of the youth and young people. In all, it does more harm for BMX on the world wide web as it scares people away from the sport of BMX. So think twice if you are thinking of hosting a BMX web site that is a Closed/Pay Source. The more a web site reduces the accessibility of a web site and pages for youth and young people, The web site has more of a big high risk of losing the audience. Don`t for get, you might want to be promoting BMX than is to be demoting BMX. Open Source for all to view it, is the way to go if your web site is topic BMX. Accessibility for all is the key if you want to present a successful BMX web site. Some Commentary And Quotes About Some Closed/Pay Source BMX Web Sites. 07/29/2009 - Gene`s BMX Delists BMXmuseum dot com, Commentary Quote. 12/27/2007 - Gene`s BMX Blasts Go211 Web Site, Web Cast. - Commentary. 10/21/2007 - Gene`s BMX Applauds To Pay BMX Site To Close. 06/21/2007 - NBL & BMX Direct Connect To Offer Webcasts - Commentary Quote. 11/17/2006 - ABA BMX Pay BMX Web Site Adding $Price Tag Commentary. 09/12/2006 - Gene`s BMX Quotes About Vintage BMX Pay Forum. 07/01/2006 - The Spin Of Pay BMX Web Sites In The Internet Commentary. 03/27/2005 - ISTV Pay BMX Site Web site - "Ya" Right, Give BMX a Brake!. BMX Web Surfers, BMX Web Viewers Please Note: If a BMX web site charges you money to view any of its BMX contents on the world wide web, It is a Scam! as most BMX contents on the web can be found for FREE! Just a nice heads up to help save your money. Note: Yahoo! Groups, Forums Post Boards, Blogs, Chat rooms, Guest Books, extra. They are just WEB TOOLS, They are NOT a web site. Adding a web page tool is grate for a web site add-on. Your viewers in all don`t have to register, jump hoops to view your web site contents by adding a page tool, but they will if they want to submit/post news or place comments in on your web tools. Your keeping your web site open to all to view this way. On most of the web tools said above the web tools does offer opts for the webmaster to have the tool closed or open. If you want people to surf in and join your web tool, you may want to have it open so people can see the contents. The more surfers see the more chance you have at gaining a new member on to your web page tool. Myspace, Facebook, Twitter are social networking interactive site tools baced by user-submitted network personal profiles and group blogs that do target to personal dating services adds. Just about everything about them is same, In the most, they are the world wide web`s board of spam. There bace set ups are of a interactive bulletin board system of personal adds and services to a style to where people can set up live blogs to chat each other, some what like a forums post boards but via on a profile page. If you like spam, and you are a dumb-founded person then social networking places like Myspace, Facebook, Twitter are places for you. Them places are a wast. Be smart, take the time and learn the backbone of the web to make your own web site and pages. - Be Original! - it is more fun and respected. Also Note: ( A Heads Up About The World Wide Web ) Once someone puts content information, like posts a web site/page or a post in on a web page tool like a forums post board extra. on to the world wide web even if the content information is deleted latter on, it can still be locked in to the world wide web for ever and will always be on the web for people to see. Web bots do craw in on the web and do archive the web`s contents. This is how the world wide web works, The Web Does Archive Contents. So think hard before you put your personal information or contents that you do not want others to see or have out there. If you don`t want people to see or have it, don`t post it on to the world wide web. Don`t be fooled, Even if some places say your content is safe, it is not. Nothing is too safe on the world wide web as the web is a project set of protocols and conventions. -- Be Safe and Have Fun Everyone.

Free Submit/Add Your Web Site To Search EnginesAdd your Web Site URL to Google - http://www.google.com/webmasters Add your Web Site URL to Yahoo! - http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html A hint note about the Google & Yahoo! search engines, Once a URL does get listed in on both of them, ( the 2 top Searchs on the web ) It seems that alot of others search engines will/may pick up your url, as other search bots crawl the web looking for new url addresses and information to add. Also something to keep in mind is " META Tags" for Search Engines in your web page(s) headdings. "Keywords", Sneak in a few extra words into your web page meta tag for other search engines to index. So search engines returns a cleaner description. META Tags are used as part of your HTML code. Some "Spiders/Bots" uses the information contained within META Tags to index your Web page. In most cases a Spider will grab only the first few words, sentences or paragraphs and use those words as the description and keywords for your Web page.
