I Never Knew How Much I Didn’t Know
Posted: January 5, 2008I bought CSS: The Missing Manual the other day and started to read Chapter One tonight. It’s page 21 and already, I’m thinking of the way I’ve coded certain sites and the techniques I’ve used. I’m guilty of some pretty bad coding crimes.
I used tables for my layout. I think one or two of my fanlistings might still have iframes (in m defense, I’m working on getting rid of those). I still know nothing about doctypes and usually just leave whatever default Dreamweaver puts at the top of my page. (I think using Dreamweaver is a misdemeanor, really. I never use the design screen anymore–only the coding view and I don’t use any of the extra features except for CSS and file management, so maybe my punishment should be light.)
Maybe my New Year’s Resolution should have been learn more about XHTML and CSS instead of PHP/MySQL. Yikes.
