I have gotten some ideas from a number of books and web sites while learning HTML and web design. Listatmatic is a great source for example HTML code you can use to design navigation and menu systems. The code comes with clear and concise explanations about how lists and CSS can work together. The CSS-driven pop-out vertical menu that I use, with considerable modifications, came from www.tanfa.co.uk. This navigation system uses csshover.com that comes from Peter Nederlof's site.
Did you notice the colored separator stripes in all the archived data tables? The code for that came from an article by David Miller in A List Apart.
The web itself proved to be a very useful resource while designing this site. I found some PHP scripts at Saratoga-Weather.Org that I used to capture National Weather Service RSS weather forecast feeds. These were great and sure saved me alot of time!
Dr. David Robinson, Director of the Office of the New Jersey State Climatologist gave me permission to include the 'Current Conditions' page from the ONJSC website. The National Snow and Ice Data Center let me embed their daily sea ice extent visuals. Dr. Tony Phillips from Space Weather gave me permission to use his graphic images in my solar sunspot page. I feel that these additions have made my site more well-rounded and useful.
I constantly referred to these books concerning HTML, CSS and web design.
