* You guys really have no idea how often I'm quoting from "Napoleon Dynamite," so I'll just have to tell you.
Mel recommended a web design book to help me learn HTML, XHTML and CSS.
Guess what? I get it! I really understand what it's saying! That may not seem like much, but I've been so intimidated by design stuff and all the little quirks that you need to understand to write your own code. But you know, it's not that bad. It seems to follow a very logical pattern.
I can't tell you how much more confident it makes me feel. If you're looking into learning design, I definitely recommend this book. (At least, I really recommend the first thirty pages or so.)
