Re: [Gimp-user] Create web page?
Sorry, you are right. W3C does not own W3Schools. Thanks for that. W3C does only go over the very basics of everything they offer. Which may make it silly. At any rate it is a good starting point and utilizes the W3C standards as a workbench. That was the point I was trying to make. Crap I feel bad that I was wrong. Thanks for correcting me.

Re: [Gimp-user] Create web page?
Just adding my two cents. I just glanced at the TOC of that doc and noticed that a lot of it is out of date. Marquee and Font tags are no longer fully supported, and Framesets are a bad idea (although iframes for certain things are a good idea). Also never use tables to lay your website out. A lot of people still do, but I would not even consider it a poor-man's-layout, rather it is and always has been a terrible idea. Divs were invented specifically for layout of websites. Just a heads up. Tables are however good for displaying tabular data. Just taking a glance around the web, I came across this, http://webdesign.about.com/od/tables/a/aa122605.htm, which goes over what to use tables for and what tabular data is. About.com is always a pretty good source for information, and I trust them on a lot of things. While they don't specialize in much of anything I would take a look. http://www.W3Schools.com has the most up-to-date tutorials on HTML and CSS, which are the two technologies you need to learn to achieve the creation of a decent website, even if it is simple.

In other words- it doesn't work out like that for me. And that's why books are written on how to do it. There are also online tuts.

Ah, different learning styles. Please understand that for some people, like me, for example this is exactly the perfect way. For others it wouldn't work at all. My only point is that it's good to realize that there are many learning styles and it's better not to make overarching statements about this will not work, or only this can be done. I agree that learning about design is good, but design books are so fluffy to me! I make myself read them, and I do better work because of it, but one is learning your tools, and the other is learning what might be better done with them.

I suggest reading a good book about basic modern web design instead. I disagree. After teaching myself the basics (by copying work others had done), reading the standards and specifications jumped my knowledge more then any book ever did. The only design book I have is for CSS 2.1 I'm also self-taught, and I learned much of what I know by having downloaded a really comprehensive reference that is written in German (unfortunately it's not available in English). Right now I'm at the point where I only use the W3C specs I have downloaded as a reference. Essentially, I think, web design is not that difficult. Understanding the CSS box formatting model is imho very important, and when looking for the answer to any specific problem, I use Google.
