As you may or may not know, SPAG is joining the World Wide Web soon.
However, not being one of those people gifted with the ability to draw
worth a damn, I have to ask for help. I need a title gif that says SPAG
in some visually appealing manner, and is shaped to go almost all the way
across the screen. I would also appreciate it if I could get some other
interesting images (text adventure related, maybe) and some pointers to
public domain gif ftp sites, if such exist. Oh yes, if you've done any
reviews for SPAG, and have access to a scanner, it would be nice if you
would send me a scanned photograph of yourself. I personally am not
going to have my picture in there, as I need a haircut, a shave, and
maybe 6 months of working out to be presentable. :P

In general, I'm HTMLizing the following:

A SPAG page, with various indices/pointers to reviews.
-Click here to download reviewed game.
-Reviews sorted by game, reviewer, and FTPable games.
-FTP the plain text versions of SPAG by clicking here.
-Interviews with IF movers and shakers, maybe with scanned photos.
-Click here to subscribe. (Not sure how to do this yet.)

Um, that's all I can remember about that particular page right now.
Suggestions/offers of aid welcome.

Other stuff:

HTMLized Whizzard's Guide to Text Adventure Authorship.
Various fiction I've written, including:
-Artificial Dreams (MtG based fiction.)
-Man's Best Friend (Red Dwarf Fan Fic.)
-The Spam Files (Humorous stories I wrote in high school.)
-Some poetry, etc.
An Avalon Home Page (Hell, why not. I'm already king of vaporware.)
Whizzard's ADV.T File System. (Click here to download, etc.)

And that's about it for now. The SPAG page will stand on its own, and
the rest of the stuff will just be for interested parties. Still, if you
have a web browser, it will be worthwhile to get the HTML version of
Whizzard's Guide etc. simply to have the fancy index I'm adding to it.

I like HTML very much, thank you. It's a nice, easy language to learn,
with lots of versatility in what it does.
