Don’t be frightened of Cascading Style Sheets!

Published by Geoff at 8:30 pm under Hints and tips

This post is not for gee-whiz web designers, and it’s not for anyone who is satisfied with using someone else’s hand-me-down web design; it’s for people like me who do a little bit of HTML writing and have put together a couple of modest web sites (have a look at my effort for the Haiku site paper wasp, or the one I did for an educational consultancy Academic Directions (still under construction).

I might say, the CSS caused me all sorts of trouble for that one, especially trying to get it look the same for Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer! In the end, I’m ashamed to admit, I had to resort to the dreaded tables in order to get the fern picture in the right place.

Now, I’m going to have another go, with Hilco van der Meer’s help.

So, like me, have you ever wanted to use CSS and got increasingly frustrated as you tried to follow someone’s ‘Easy step-by-step guide to Style Sheets’? Or have you had problems just editing your WordPress theme’s Style Sheet?

As I said above, I certainly have, so that’s why I was very happy to come across a really comprehensive package on CSS that actually does what it promises.

Check out Hilco van der Meer’s “How To Master CSS” Course, and you’ll be as impressed as I was.

If you liked this, why not treat me to a coffee (or a bone for Kafka)? Thanks, mate!
