We do a lot of work for the environment and the Internet and hope that you will find some useful resources on this page. If you have an environmental page of your own email it to us. We'll find a place here and link to you. If you are wondering what a Trogon is (or looks like) check out one of our favorite sites, Southeast Arizona Bird Observatory (SABO), for a picture.Here are some resources we find useful...
If you are looking for Trogon Computers, you are lost...
You really want to go to www.trogoncomputer.com. Some other popular misspellings include www.tragon.com, www.tregon.com and www.trigon.com.
The Refuge Committee
- The Refuge Committee is a non-profit organization based in the San Francisco Bay. During the last decade its members, starting with Phillip and Florence LaRiviere have succeeded in saving much of the remaining wetlands in the southern San Francisco Bay ecosystem. Catch up on the latest newsletters and late-breaking news or learn more about conservation efforts in our area.
- This is the best non-partisan political resource we've found. Project VoteSmart provides detailed information on national and state politicians. Included are voting records, extremely detailed campaign financing data, and the politician's "grades" from a wide variety of special-interest groups.
- This is a site you don't want to miss if you are using Windows95. The windows95.com webmaster has assembled an excellent collection of Internet software and other general purpose software.
- Ziff-Davis has a fairly extensive collection of software for both Macs and PCs (including both Windows 3.1x and Windows95).
Do you think that you'd like to have your own home page, but don't know where to start? Here are some resources that might help you get going (it's not really that hard--if you have a word processor then you can create and view your own web pages!)
- Use a word
processor to design a basic web page.
-
***This portion is still being developed. The sample page is not yet available.***
Click here to load a sample web page. Save this page on your hard disk and open it with your word processor. Experiment with changes to the content and view your changes by opening the page in your web browser. Just be sure to save the page in text form with the suffix .htm (or .html, if you have a Mac or a PC with Windows 95). - Find an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) that can host your web pages.
- You can work with and view your web pages without ever connecting
to the Internet--unfortunately no one else will be able to. An ISP lets
you save your web pages on their computers, making them accessible to
the Internet. Most ISPs that provide dial-in accounts also have these
"web hosting" services, so give your ISP a call. If they don't provide
web hosting, then try contacting the two services I use, Scruznet
and Cruzio.
- Check out
some art and online literature about HTML (the language of web pages).
- Web pages look nice when they include art. This page uses a background picture (the "sandstone" strip down the left edge, and art for buttons and arrows.
