HTML without Tables Using CSS

I’ve been around the Web for a while now—some might say I’ve been here from the beginning. And one thing that always bothered me about the Web was its inherent inability to disentangle content from presentation. The interconnected-ness of it all meant that, to produce a web site, you needed not only to have something to say, and some graphical design skills to make the presentation of that message look good, but you also needed to be a bit of a programmer.

A lot of places will try and sell you either on templates (Choose one of 3 lovely colors!) or a visual editor, such as Dreamweaver (which makes such a mess, even professional coders have trouble reading the code, let alone editing it). HTML is really a very simple coding language that once learned is very versatile and easy to incorporate.

Please, don’t be afraid of HTML! It really isn’t as intimidating as you’d think. At it’s most basic, it’s simple plain text files with a set of characters that have a special meaning. Try starting with Elizabeth Castro’s book, “HTML, XHTML & CSS. If you can’t find it at your local library or just want a copy to keep, visit Duelin’ Deals Emporium using the link below.
