What do you mean, it's no longer 1995?
I learned to make webpages in approximately 1995. The problem is, that's where my web-skills are still at. So I thought, the other day, "Huh, maybe I should learn some CSS so that I can make pages that are actually nicely laid out." I was thinking that I kind of missed having a website; if nothing else, I could put my fanfiction on it. (Plus, NearlyFreeSpeech.NET looks like an awesome host, in a crazy libertarian kind of way. Also cheap, as I do not expect to be insanely popular.)
So today I have a CSS book (Beginning CSS, by Richard York) and I looked at some CSS tutorial sites and proceeded to make myself a webpage with a navigation bar down the side with pretty colored borders. Embarrassingly, most of the time was spent fixing my own HTML errors. *facepalm* And, yes, I know katemonkey has a site template and lim has an awesome set of templates and themes, but I think I should make myself less appalling in terms of personal knowledge. Plus if I learn CSS I am told it will be of use making pretty layouts on Dreamwidth.
(On a slightly unrelated note, does anyone know if the GMail feature that lets you link two accounts and pick which one to reply from links your two addresses in any way other than that line in the header? I know about the header. Am considering switching fannish address to GMail, and while I don't care if fen learn my RL name from the header (though I wouldn't want it the other way around), I don't really want there to be some Google page blaring that Your Name Here owns the following email addresses, you know?)
