Website work in progress
Hi all,
I just thought it might be nice to have a forum disscussion available for us to put our website projects in.
I have just completed my basic HTML page/site for web development 101. Here is my site http://kylerowden.com. I have yet to run it through a validator, nor did I really figure out bugzilla in the 5 minutes I played with it so far. Will pick up where I left off tomorrow. I only used open web programs, notepad++ and filezilla. Filezilla was easy to use, did have a hiccup trying to figure out how to sync, but worked out the problem viewing my hosting providers help section which included a section on how to use filezilla!
Thank you all for any critizism, suggestions, advice, or money(j/k) that you can offer me ;)

hi Kyle!
CSS is a great way to style your website. It is actually the best. It is quite easy to learn.
Attributes like the ones you have used (like font) are deprecated, so newer browsers wonțt be able to read them correctly.
All the best!
Yep, CSS is a must. Here's a good starting point:

As for presentational elements (font, center, etc) being deprecated, that's definitely true and you should avoid them. But, they'll likely still work for a long time to come even in future browsers.
Though for your own sanity (and those working with you), you'll want to get used to using CSS via external stylesheets for the sake of modularity (separating style from content). When you start adding more pages and making larger sites, it's essential.
thanks for the advice and thanks for the link! I have been learning CSS this week, and feel semi-comfortable with it now. Expect to see kylerowden.com with css soon. EDIT: Css is in store for me next week. Eventhough I do have some CSS in between comment tags now.
Excellent. Kyle, don't forget to post in the Week 2 Assignment thread so others can review your work.
