Web Design / HTML Web Design / HTML Design Basics Learn HTML CSS XML Careers From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML I learned of the new Microsoft web page editor WebMatrix recently. It looks interesting. One of the features that is neat about it is that you can use it to install applications like WordPress or Drupal on your site. In my on-going series on HTML 5, I've got an article on the new event attributes you can use to create web applications that feel like desktop apps. And if you're just starting out with HTML, you may have been frustrated by spaces. An annoying feature of HTML is that white spaces are collapsed and many beginners get caught in this trap, so I've included an article on how to add spaces to your web pages even when HTML collapses them.

This editor for Windows allows you to build websites using dozens of open source tools including WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla!. It sets up a web server on your hard drive and then installs the components (including databases) that you need for the tools you want on your site. Then, when you're ready to publish, you can connect to one of the many web servers that support direct connections with WebMatrix or use FTP to transfer to your own hosting provider.

If you don't have a job that takes the taxes directly from your paycheck, you may end up paying a fine to the government if you aren't paying quarterly taxes. But then again, if you aren't making enough money as a freelancer, you may not owe quarterly taxes. Do you pay quarterly taxes?
