Latest version always available from http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/

DESCRIPTION: Easy to use web page authoring tutorials covering basic
  and advanced web page design. The tutorials are in HTML format so
  you can go through them with your web browser. If you've never
  created a web page before, the basic tutorial will guide you gently
  though basics of HTML. And, if you know the basics, the advanced
  tutorials will show you how to add additional features to your page. 

THESE TUTORIALS ARE FREEWARE. They are not copyrighted. You may use
  and/or distribute them to your hearts content according to the
  guidelines below.
  - If you wish to post them unaltered on your public or private
    server, you can.
  - If you wish to translate them into another language, you can.
  - If you are a teacher and you want to use them for teaching
    purposes, you can.
  - If you want to include them on a CD with other Internet programs,
    you can.
  - If, for some lame reason, you copy them verbatim and call them
    your own, I will have no choice but to tell Mom, and boy will you
    be in trouble!

REQUIREMENTS:
1) Windows95/98. I've abandoned the 8.3 file naming convention. Win3x
   users may have some trouble. They should however be able to access
   everything online though. I'm not that familiar with other
   operating systems, but I'm guesing the tutorials are still plenty
   useable.
2) A graphical web browser. Preferably Netscape Navigator 3.0 or
   later. MS Internet Explorer 3.0 or later will do also. If you use
   something other than the big two everything should still be OK.
   Very old browsers might hit a few potholes though.
3) A text editor. Notepad will do nicely for now.
4) A comfortable chair and an attractive member of the opposite sex
   to tell you how computer geeks are sexy and to rub your neck if it
   gets stiff.

INSTRUCTIONS: Unzip and start with index.html. Have fun. No files are
  copied, moved, modified or otherwise scattered about your computer.
  To "uninstall" these tutorials, simply delete the contents of the
  webtutor directory.

IN A PAST LIFE these tutorials were released separately as "So, you
  want to make a Web Page!", "Table Tutor", "Form Tutor" and "Frames
  Tutor".

EMAIL: I get a lot of email asking for help on this problem or that,
  and I'm afraid there isn't enough time to answer them all. I do
  answer a few occasionally however, and they all at least hit my
  eyes.

Have fun & good luck!

Version history
-----------------------------------------------------------
v3.5 (April/99)
- Got "back to basics" all the way around. Long overdue updates.
  Dumped some fluff.
- Removed the various smaller tutorial-ettes. (These will still be
  available and downloadble from the web site.)
- Slightly beefed up the 4 main tutorials.
- Added an updated barebones guide to HTML.
- Sprinkled in a few FAQs.
- Handy Dandy Font Viewer streamlined and doesn't kill IE any more.
- Color Picker slightly improved and IE friendly.
- Form Tutor contains more info regarding the notorious mailto action
  along with links to CGI resources.
- Added Mailto Converter to the distribution because links to mailto
  formatter kept disappearing.
- Dumped the JS menu in favor of a main Table of Contents. (A new,
  improved and reusable SiteMap is in the works... stay tuned.)
- Improved navigation through the pages.
- Dumped the self-extracting exe distribution for a simple zip file.
  Abandoned the idea for a "professional" installation. Why use a
  hammer to kill a fly?

What this 3.5 version is NOT:
- It's not a tutorial based on HTML 4.0 (it loosely follows 3.2)

  against any published HTML recommendation.
