CSS Resources

[Grinch]

The way to build your web pages seem to change constantly. Formats change, best practices change and the preferred language changes. Not too long ago, HTML was the preferred way, now XHTML is preferred. Once sites were built utilizing frames and tables. Of course this is all my opinion, I haven't bothered doing any research on what I just said, just the way I see things. Now the big thing is using CSS to aid in your design. Using CSS reduces a lot of code writing and makes for much cleaner and simpler code. No more do you need to use tables. It can all be done using CSS and the <div> tag. I'm still learning this as time permits but so far I prefer it this way and so do a lot of other web developers including our very own Battye.

Here is a list of sites that you can use to learn about CSS.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/ is also a good place to start since the W3 is what backs the CSS standards and web standards in general

Hmm... my site uses a basic CSS template so I can change the look of the whole thing easily if I ever feel the urge. Lots of it still contains frames and tables tho.... I'm gonna read those links and see what ideas crop up... and then see if I can find time to do anything with any of them.

Thanks for the info.
