If you came here expecting this to be the home page of John Fowles
I am sorry to have to tell you that you are on the wrong web site for the famous novelist and author please click the photo above for a page of information on him

Uncle John's HTML Introduction
this sprung from an idea that came to me when I read the guestbook entry made by my nephew Simon Vint on 24 January 2002
"PS. Might have to learn more about this HTML business.."
Note:- HTML is the "language" used to communicate with your
computer's browser e.g. Internet Explorer
"HTML" stands for "Hyperlink Mark-up Language"
If that makes you feel any better!!
TUTORIALS
A section devoted to a series of tutorials on a wide range of computer and internet tips program(me)s features and problems
A "technical" site that I helped write and organise
Java And JavaScripts
The first web site that I was commissioned to write for a New Jersey based
organisation helping disabled persons get employment
