"Best Of" #2 - Design Resources for the Rest of Us

Originally posted in December of 2006 when I was still going to school for web design.



I have to admit something. I'm not really a web designer. I never have been. I may well never ~be~. I don't know.

I do know that I am first and foremost an artist and writer. By extension I also do some graphic design. Any actual HTML coding I do is a total afterthought, something to make sure whatever I want to put up displays properly, nothing more.

Which is something of a disadvantage given that I am attempting to redesign my church's website for my web design II final project. It's no wonder then, that I've been rather stuck for about the last week. I had very little idea what I wanted to do and even less how to do it.

But last night I found some things that have gotten me unstuck.

Miracle of miracles!

I would then like to present web design tutorials for the rest of us.

• Basic HTML part 1


• Basic HTML part 2


• A Good explanation of classes and id's and how to use them


• Useful CSS tricks


• And the tutorial that actually got me unstuck- tableless two-column layout

Have fun!
