Need HTML Practice


Question Posted Monday October 25 2004, 10:13 pm

I've been doing HTML on and off for about 7 or 8 years now, but I haven't done much of anything HTML related lately. I'm afraid my skills have lapsed over that time. So I want to start up another website from scratch so that I can see if I still got it in me. The question is, over what? I was thinking of a site for my workplace but my boss' girlfriend already has that covered. A site over something I'm interested in may be a little fun, but I'd like to make a useful site people will actually go to. I won't bother making a list of interests because no one will read a site about any of them.

I just need some practice. What can I do? Hell, if you want me to design a site for you I might just do that instead. Nothing too hard, though. And if you ask for too much I'll charge you. ;)

Please, for the love of god, do it properly. In 2004 this means using well-formed XHTML for document structure, and using CSS for all the visual styles. Don't use tables for layout and make sure everything validates and conforms to WCAG accessibility guidelines. If you have no idea what any of that means, then please, PLEASE read up on them before you even considering being a web designer. Here's a good link to get you reading up on standards based designing:

I don't want to see you making a single page until you've read up on how to do things _properly_.

Apologies if you already know about these things, but I'm sick to the back teeth of worthless, talentless schmucks spewing out fetid, disgusting, Frontpage-generated table-based "designs" and then claiming to be web designers.

I was wanting to create an online museum of stupidity but I don't have the time (or the ability for that matter). People submit pictures and stories of stupid behaviour and everyone gets to laugh at it. It's yours if you want it and I think it would be quite popular.
