Rodent Regatta

It’s been a day of study and trial-and-error. Four new domains pointed to new name servers just yesterday are already resolving correctly.

The more I study, the more I become convinced that standards-based web design is likely to become as important an individual skill as word processing. If you can’t produce a simple site that validates and set up a web server for collaboration, you might get left behind. I’m not yet completely confident in any of these areas, but I’m digging hard to learn what I can.

Movable Type, CSS, XHTML and techniques taught by those who are good with these tools are feeding my studies. TopStyle Pro is also on the list of things to learn to be more effective as is NoteTab.

It’s a long day, but it’s beginning to pay off.
