You can definitely learn it by yourself the right way. I would suggest
you to read http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/ - there is *good
stuff* there. If you really want to start messing around: reading
about HTML and CSS here http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/html.php
and here http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/css.php will probably help.
An exceptionally good HTML editor that even has HTMLTidy built-in is
Notepad++ - it's open source, I myself cannot find its equivalent in
Linux and Mac, although I found Scite on Linux and Smultron in Mac are
pretty decent too. Please don't even bother to start with something
like MS Anything (Frontpage/Visual Studio/whatever) or Dreamwaver or
NVU.
Reading webdesignfromscratch.com, coding with Notepad++ and debugging
with Firebug for Firefox is everything that you need for your adventure.
Good luck,
- H.

Go ahead and take a look at the source code (most if not all
browsers have a "view source" somewhere fairly prominant). Its just
html and css, which is a set of markup coding to format text. It
doesn't actually require programming, so its fairly easy to pick up.

Hey Justin,
that sounds like something I'm really interested in, but I have not
yet had any internet programming experience or taken the internet
programming class (CS 315). If there aren't any more able
candidates, could I be taught enough without that previous knowledge
to handle the site?

Hi,
I am Justin Nichols, and I am the current webmaster for the
Kirksville Bike Co-Op. I have been on this list for most of my
college career (though I have not attended many FSCK meetings), and
I thought this would be a good place to recruit a new webmaster for
the Co-Op (I should graduate in May).
The webmaster's main responsibility would be the maintenance and
updating of our web page: bike.truman.edu
Its very simple hand written HTML and CSS, and it is set up with ITS
for webdav from a linux box. It has become a little ungaingly to
apply overarching changes, but overall I have found it to be
managable. I didn't really know what I was doing when I wrote it,
so I'm sure a few things could be done better. Also, there would be
no restrictions on changing/re-writing things, as long as the
content is maintained.
Our webmaster is also likely to have some responsibility for
maintaining our shop computer (its a windows box, belongs to ITS).
You would also be expected to attend our weekly meetings.
It is possible to get scholarship job hours for this work, however I
doubt that you could get enough hours with just the webmaster
position. It is very possible to combine this with work as a shop
mechanic (no prior experience necessary), and learn how to work on
bicycles to cover the rest of your hours.
If you are interested, please contact myself ([email protected]) or
Erica (our org. coordinator) at [email protected]. You
would also want to attend one (or more) of our meetings. They are
Monday at 5:30pm in MG2050.
Justin
