First let me apologize if this is an inappropriate newsgroup to post in. 
These workshops are going to have a home in CA soon but I figure that you
all are our southern neighbors so perhaps you'd like to know.

General

Each of the workshops will consist of two four hour sessions, for a total
of 8 hours, on two separate days.  Each four hour session will include a
30 minute break in the middle.  **Workshop sizes are limited to 9
students** ensuring a low student to teacher ratio.  Students will be
encouraged to use the skills taught in the first session at home and pose
questions to the instructor at the beginning of the final session. 
Students are recommended to take all three levels, to gain a complete
understanding of HTML and Internet marketing.   Registration for an
Intermediate or Advanced Level Workshop will require either completion of
prerequisite classes or demonstrated ability.  Each student will have a
computer; Beginning and Advanced HTML classes will be held on PC�s and the
Intermediate Workshops will be held on Macintoshes.  

Introduction to HTML (Beginning)

A two part, eight hour introduction to HTML for students with little or no
HTML experience.  Requirements for this class include a basic
understanding of how the WWW works, experience with a WWW browser
(preferably a graphical browser such as Netscape, Mosaic, or Cello), basic
computer literacy such as the ability to use a text editing program such
as Write for Windows or Simple text for the Macintosh.  By the end of the
class each student will possess a  home page.  A basic introduction to how
HTML works, the anatomy of a web presentation, and ideas for organization
and navigation, story-boarding and an introduction to what HTML is and is
not will be covered in the first half of the first day.  During the second
half of the first day, fundamental tags of html will be covered such as
<HTML>, <HEAD>, <BODY>, <TITLE>, and headers as well as comment tags. 
Students will be asked to create a home page with these tags with proper
HTML habits stressed.   On the second day, class  will begin with
questions relating to problems of the use of fundamental tags and will
then cover how to create links (the most important aspect of HTML), how to
make different lists such as menu, directory, glossary, numbered,
unordered, and link menus.  Students will be asked to update their home
pages using these new tags.   In the second half of the class, physical
styles for text will be introduced as well as pre-formatted text,
horizontal rules, line breaks, the address command, quotations, and how to
create links and anchors within one document.  The final segment will
focus on how to upload the student�s pages onto a server and make them 
accessible on the Internet.

Intermediate HTML

This two part, eight hour intermediate level workshop for HTML will assume
that the student has the skills taught in the Introduction to HTML
workshop .  Students will be asked to have a HTML document they wrote to
expand with the new skills they will attain in the class.  The class will
begin with an in depth look at URLs, http, ftp, mail-to, gopher, and
usenet and their applications in HTML.  An introduction to inline and
external images will be covered; including text and image alignment,
images and links, and transparent and interlaced images.  An introduction
to the use of external media for images, sound and video will be
explored.  More textual styles will be introduced for use with browsers
that support HTML 3.0 and some of Netscape's unique tags.  Students will
be asked to integrate  these new tags into their HTML documents.  Web page
design will be discussed in depth, including organization of HTML
documents, making pages that are independent, what to avoid at all costs
in a web page and all around good habits and hints, to create dynamic and
highly read web pages.  An introduction to getting readers will be
covered, such as listing in search engines, posting in usegroups without
�spamming� and other internet marketing strategies.  An introduction to
forms and image maps will also be covered.  

Advanced HTML

This two part, eight hour advanced level workshop for HTML will require
that the student has the skills taught in the previous two HTML
workshops.  This class will give an introduction to HTML assistants such
as editors and converters.  There will also be an introduction to gateway
scripts.  The main objective of this class will be to develop each
student�s HTML skills, for the production of effective and saleable
websites.  Tips on advanced techniques, such as creating smaller sized
pages that retain highly graphical impact, the importance of
interactivity, and Netscape's unique tags will be covered.  This workshop
will take an in depth look at how to sell your HTML authoring skills, how
to forecast what is going to happen in this medium, the differences and
similarities of traditional commercial advertising as compared to WWW
commercial advertising, and how to market this medium.  Answers to the top
10 questions on the Internet such as security issues, regulation issues,
fear of technology and pornography on the WWW will be addressed, to help
provide answers to potential client questions.  A brief history of the
Internet, from ARPANET to recent MBONE's developments will be discussed. 
Current and past Internet legislative issues will be covered, including
the N.I.I. (National Information Infrastructure).  Legal issues, such as
