After a very long day yesterday trying to learn about XHTML, I find myself with very, very deep respect for everyone who has a web site. I don’t know what the folks that do this studied or how they learned, but I realize that there is a gigantic body of knowledge that they’ve mastered that I’m really struggling to understand.

As you can see from today’s chapter of my XHTML Workbook, I’ve taken a couple of steps backwards.

The formatting of Day 2 isn’t correct. The work on the Introduction still doesn’t validate. The Day 2 document has even more validation errors than the Introduction.

I’ll use today to continue to dig through each of those and figure out how to correct them. I never dreamed that so many people had mastered this stuff. I’m quite certain that there are very few other fields of endeavor where so many experts exist. If there are indeed as many as a million or two weblogs, that’s an amazing number of people to have achieved a deep understanding of a subject.

For my educational background and IQ, this stuff isn’t easy, intuitive or obvious in the least.
