Re: [WSG] Website Check

I happen to like the font :-P The navigation has plenty of backups. I'm not sure why everything would disappear. I don't use any img tags, everything is a background image through block elements and CSS. They have titles, and text within the element for the text version. :-/ Forgive me, but

[WSG] Semi-newbie: advice needed

Hiya. I'm an experienced HTML CSS coder who has dabbled a little with the XHTML/CSS way of doing things, but frankly, am a little lost. All the tutorials I've found on the web assume that you are either experienced and trying to do some advanced stuff, or are completely new and don't know CSS.
