Things They Never Tell You In Css School

The best thing about css is its ability to leave your head numb and your knuckles aching from whacking your monitor in the eye.

Things I should Do Instead

Image of post it note with to do list
  • Learn to write PHP that does not return errors.
  • Sleep more.
  • Things that don't require me to sit at a computer.
  • Use tables.
  • Preach about “Semantics” like everyone else around here.
  • Use tables when a DIV doesn't cut the mustard.

CSS: stuff nightmares are made of

#rightcol { 
position:relative;
vertical-align:top; 
width: 18%;
margin-left: 3.6%; 
display: inline-block; 
padding-left:2em; 
text-align:left;
}

Here's some wise advise.

“Oh, what a tangled website we weave when first we practice.”

Linkage: the dirty low down

The advantage of the internet is that most of the information you will ever need, is at the end of a few hyperlinks. The sheer volume of information available is beyond imagination.

Unfortunately finding it can often be a bit of a problem. That's why this section: links to tools, tutorials, etc.. If you have found an excellent link related to design you want me to add, just contact me. This way you can assist your fellow web designers.
