This page contains links to a number of sites that I love & keep visiting frequently.
Something that I have learnt from spending hours on the NET is , " BE PATIENT !! BE CURIOUS ENOUGH TO GO INTO HELP-TOPICS WHEREVER & WHENEVER POSSIBLE. & OF COURSE, HAVE THAT ALL IMPORTANT FAITH IN YOURSELF."
Check out My HTML Page for links to cooooool sites related to HTML Tools & Tutorials.
ALTAVISTA is my favourite "Search-Engine" & I find an amazing number of search-results there.
Another Search-Engine called DOGPILE is also a good one. Actually , it provides a combined search result of LookSmart, GoTo.com, Thunderstone, Yahoo!, About.com, Lycos' Top 5%, InfoSeek, Direct Hit, Lycos & AltaVista.
TIP :- If you really want to help yourselves to refine your searches & find exactly what you want , then try checking out the "SEARCH-FEATURES" of your engines. You can try out the ALTAVISTA version.
You will need just about 7-8 minutes to read the whole thing. But believe me , the features will make net-life simpler for you.
TUCOWS is a nice place for SHAREWARE. A feature of this site is the rating that is given to the software in terms of "Cows". That also helps you decide on what you want to download.
CNET is where I find most of my software. Usually, I hunt around only for "System Tools" & "Internet Utilities". But you could almost take a short nap by the time the list of Software finishes loading.
TIP :- Make Sure that you read the reviews & system requirements of every product before blindly pressing the "DOWNLOAD" button. Some of these services also provide "RATINGS" which are useful.
