2008-04-09 That'll Teach Me

Teach me to read the reviews, not teach me CSS.

I've been muddling through, looking after a website based on PostNuke (content management system) for the last 4 years. Before that I had a site that was just a collection of html pages, starting with pages that I'd written in Microsoft Word before I gradually realised that Word is NOT an html editor. Eventually I decided that I need to get to grips with CSS.

The thing is, I've used the "...Dummies" books before and found them reasonably good so naturally I thought this one would be the same. No way.

I persevered when the author told me that I should ignore Firefox and other "minority" browsers because 95% of people browsing my website would be using Internet Explorer. Maybe that was true in 2005 but if so, Firefox use was 5% and growing but why would I want to alienate even 5% of my visitors? I even persevered when he told me I should use the cool Internet Explorer only filters because he said he would get to them later. But I baulked at the idea that a professional web designer could advocate using Microsoft Word as a cool way to produce html! That was chapter 3 and I haven't been able to get past that yet.

As I said, I should have read the reviews. That'll teach me.
