Contemplating A Next Step

19 July 2003

The more I learn, the more I want to learn. There’s a sense in which my education is still haphazard. These recent web standards studies make me believe that it’s time to give some structure to the process of learning all the topics I want to learn.

A new category on this weblog may be the answer. Rather than dropping any and everything about technology into a single category, it may be time to introduce a ”Web Authors’ FAQ.” I’d set it up as a category and post entries about everything. Rather than multiple categories, all the entries would be in the form of a question or questions and would go into the ”Web Authors’ FAQ.”

Topics would include:

  • beginners’ basics of web site development
  • XHTML
  • Movable Type
  • MT plugins
  • PHP and scripting
  • weblog templates
  • CSS
  • web standards and validation
  • MySQL and weblogs
  • graphic arts and design techniques
  • syndication formats and how-to’s
  • ...and a lot more

I want to learn how to use tools and plugins like this one from Brad Choate. Before using it, I want to understand the theory and principles behind plugins.

Better ideas anyone?
