I poked around the editor for Google Sites and can't find any way to allow the user to change the color scheme. I can do it in the editor rather easily with a few clicks, but passing that functionality on to users is non-existent unfortunately.

There may be a way to add this functionality with modern HTML techniques, but I stopped writing HTML back in the HTML v1.1 days.

Does anyone else suggest that the colors should be changed? I find the yellow on blue very easy on the eyes but if this is not the case with others please let me know and I'll see if I can change the color palette to something brighter.

How easy is it to update your portable version when changes are made to the tutorial?

May I include this in the tutorial for others to download?

Very nice! Thank you so much for doing this. I have been tinkering around with ways of extracting the HTML for a few months now. This looks very clean and professional.

1) Wow! This is excellent work! How did you extract the HTML? Did you use a tool to create this?

There are no special tools. I used a standard text editor (EditPade Lite) to create new HTML pages. I viewed your tutorial and copied text from the browser window and pasted it into appropriate HTML tags.

2) How easy is it to update your portable version when changes are made to the tutorial?

Changing existing pages is straight-forward. Just open that page in a text editor and make the changes; add new HTML tags as required.

Adding new pages is relatively easy. Create a template by copying an existing page. Change its name and delete content between the "start content" and "end content" markers. Add new page content.

3) May I include this in the tutorial for others to download?

It's your tutorial, so yes.

4) Very nice! Thank you so much for doing this. I have been tinkering around with ways of extracting the HTML for a few months now. This looks very clean and professional.

Feel free to modiyy this portable version as you see fit.

All the best
Thank you for the replies. My goodness, you did this by hand! That was my last resort as it is a LOT of work. Thank you again for taking the time to do this!
