First off, if you don't know what HTML and FTP are, I wouldn't try to get that position.

HTML is an acronymn for Hyper(t)ext Markup Language.
It's just a language used by many people to code simple websites. You can do lots of things with HTML such as making tables (like the ones you use in your advice column's layout); bold, italicize, underline, or strikethrough your text; create (hyper)links to other webpages; create ordered lists, etc. It's really easy to learn, which is why so many people use it to code their webpages. A few websites you could visit are

A couple good HTML books include:

The Advanced HTML Companion, Keith
Schengili-Roberts. AP Professional, 1997.

Effective Web Design (2nd. ed.), Ann Navarro.
Sybex Inc., 2001.**


FTP, I believe, stands for file transfer protocol. This is a simple file-transfering program that allows you to upload files to a webserver without having to be on that site. CuteFTP is a really easy program to use--you try it out for free by going here:

You can find FTP tutorials practically anywhere. Just type "FTP beginners tutorials" in any search engine, and you'll get plenty of results.

Feel free to email me or ask me any additional questions you may have. I'll be glad to answer them. :)

* I know it says "Kid's Guide," but really, it's for everybody.

** This teaches some basic HTML ideas, but goes more into XHTML (or XML) later into the book.

It's a 'computeR language"; you couldn't undeRstand it.. unless you KNOW the language... it's what makes websites look 'cool', I guess. It's what bolds woRds... it's what centeRs things.. it's what cReates banneRs.. and adds tables.. you can leaRn about it online a bit. You could also take a summeR class, if it's not too late?? :)
