CSS tutorials & Brickner Book

Web Design on a Shoestring can be summed up in one sentence. When budgets are tight, be realistic about what you can do (think small) and be very organized! I know from working in a government office where everything is done in committees, too many people bog down a project needlessly and eat up time and money. Of course there was an extensive discussion of using CSS and webstandards. Plus Brickner gives a link to the W3C website that can check whether your xhtml is valid or not (http://validator.w3.org), which I'm sure everyone in this class will find very useful.

I found the CSS tutorials difficult, especially McFly. With McFly, I felt like I was missing part of the instructions. With each step I found myself saying "eh?" and getting frustrated. I ended up skipping McFly and doing the one from Macromedia which I found infinitely easier to follow, even if a little cookbook-y. I screwed up just a couple of times in the code, but got it in the end.
