If These Guys Can't Do It...

5 February 2004

...how on Earth is a layman supposed to get it right. I understand roughly ten percent of what I’m reading about the problems with the CSS validator and the ”box model hack.” If I reread all that I’ve read thus far, I might understand fifteen percent in four or five hours.

No matter how badly I’d like to pursue web standards and validation and such, when the most talented of the talented are having problems with it, how can a layman possibly get it right?

Remember, a lot of us just write weblogs. We’re not web designers or developers. All we want to do is use tools that help us be ”good citizens” with our markup, CSS, RSS and layout issues.
