Thousands of Web publishers have created Web sites to sell products and services, or simply to share ideas. Often, they are disappointed with the results they've achieved through Web publishing. They create wonderful pages yet get only a few visitors. These publishers may think their ideas, interests and products aren't interesting but nothing could be further from the truth. With nearly 50 million Web users from dozens of countries around the world, the Web has an extremely diverse audience, yet trying to tap into the tremendous potential of the Web can be a daunting task.

Using the tasks explored in this book, readers will be able to attract a following to their Web site; gain an audience for their ideas; and promote their Web site to the world.

The CD contains author's samples, page templates and other examples that will help the reader implement all of the book's tasks in a single weekend. Web tools such as Paint Shop Pro, Mapedit, Web Whacker, GIFWeb, Banner*Show, HTML Assistant.
