Technical Specifications

Services Used

Website hosting: Host Department
They don't have zero advertising but they do have zero banner ads. You should only get a pop-under when you leave this site.

Domain registration: GoDaddy
My mom recommended it to me. I had my domain name redirecting to my site in about 36 hours.

Image hosting: Photobucket
Completely free, it survives on donations. I use this for images sent to me. The only catch is that individual files can't be over 250k without begin resized. Not complaining, especially since you get 100Megs space.

Advertising: What I can do for free (list soon).
Read my rant about the major seach engines.

Technologies Used

HTML 4.01 Strict
All of my pages, except the two with sitemeters, are HTML 4.01 strict. This includes my custom error pages. According to the World Wide Web Consortium: "HTML 4 supports more multimedia options, scripting languages, style sheets, better printing facilities, and documents that are more accessible to users with disabilities. HTML 4 also takes great strides towards the internationalization of documents, with the goal of making the Web truly World Wide."

Cascading Style Sheets
I use Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, on every page of my site. It allows webmasters to change the look of elements throughout their website in one place and ensure the appearance of elements stays consistant. It is also the only way to make webpages HTML 4.01 Strict; most HTML code that determines the appearance of elements doesn't exist in that version.

Layers
I use layers in the template for this site. The layers are the menus that appear when you mouse over the pictures to the left. I don't know much about how different browsers see layers. More here when I have time to look it up.

Javascript
I am not exactly sure what version of Javascript Dreamweaver put in my code. My best guess is version 1.3. I do know that browsers Explorer 4.0x & up and Netscape 4.0x & up can do the events I used.
