Since its debut, Introduction to HTML has garned a good deal of praise from publications, organizations, and users alike. Frankly, I've been a little surprised.
This page includes a small selection of comments and reviews of this tutorial. I've created the page for two reasons: the first is so that prospective readers can get an idea of what others have said about this tutorial, and the second is a desire to brag a little. Hey, I'm human.
