Everyone's personal web pages should get some love. This project is a collection of forms to help you quickly access some major websites directly from your own web pages.

First, here are working versions of the forms.


Here they are again, followed by the HTML you can cut and paste into your own web page. You can adjust or remove the target frame, as well as some of the other form variables, as needed, but they should work fine out of the box. Here's some example CSS that you can use to style them - rip it up and make it your own!

<style type='text/css'>.ffpButton {font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 1.2em;}</style>
<style type='text/css'>.ffpText {font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 1.2em;}</style>

Vioala! You can has internets.
