Web Site Scripts and Tutorials

If you need scripts and help with placing them in your website, I recommend the following sites. They have lots of scripts and provide a good general knowledge on their use. As a precaution, be sure to check the compatibility of scripts, some only work on Firefox, others only on Internet Explorer. Also, while scripts are a great way to enhance a website if over used they can quickly detract from the what's important...your page content.

Before you search below, one site I highly recommend is: mikes-marketing-tools.com. Under their "Free Content" section you will find some great resources on SEO "search engine optimization", HTML tags, web design tips, and so on. They also have a very nice search engine feature for finding scripts on other sites.
