I found this bookmark in an old book I bought in the early 90s when I lived in New York. So funny. I’m using it now for the CSS book I’m reading… he’s definitely encouraging me to BE COOL and keep at it. I’m 3/4 of the way through now! That’s about the farthest I’ve ever gotten in any computer book. I’m learning so much so fast, and with this dude’s help I’m determined to make it to the end!

Learning (more) CSS
Sunday April 13, 2008 – 3:22 pmAwhile back I started thinking I ought to sharpen my skills in web design. At first I thought I should learn PHP, so I started a book on that, but abandoned it when I realized I really needed to backtrack a bit. So I started one on Javascript and guess what, I abandoned that one too for being just an eensy bit over my head. I knew I had to shore up my knowledge of HTML and CSS, which sucks because that’s supposedly what I know best! I’ve been using HTML for frickin’ 15 years but I’m self-taught, and only ever really learned what I had to.
