I recommend working locally, testing links and then sending the whole folder. This way you can test out your relative links completely.
Use the comment html tag. A comment tag has an exclamation point as the first character in the angle brackets <!-- This is a comment -->. Writing html is similar to programming. You need to explain the purpose of a series of complicated html tags.
Format your html code with indentation. This is easy to do with tabs, but you must be consistent to keep opening and closing tags at the same indentation.
Use a "mailto:" link. This allows anyone who wants to send you a message about your pages to do so. Almost all browsers can handle the mailto: link (even Lynx!).
It is easy to make link errors when folders are involved. Check such up links ("../) and down links ("sub/) carefully.
Use meaningful titles on your pages. They label the window and are used in the Go and Bookmarks menus. Some html editors put file names as titles. Avoid this. Be careful of the file names you use. They appear on the lower left of the Netscape window when the user passes the cursor over a link. They also show up when the user views your html source. So avoid file names like MyNosyWife.html.
