"Did someone say CSS?"

I’d just like to start by saying that I hope everyone has had a good holiday and I hope everyone’s ready to get cracking on with work again. I know I’ve had a good holiday. For the most part I’ve just been learning some CSS and XHTML stuff at my own pace from Elizabeth Castro’s amazing book (if you want to learn these properly I suggest you check the book out), and it’s definitely taught me a lot about the right and wrong way to code websites. I don’t tend to code websites from scratch, but when it comes to website design and building I love to know everything so I have the knowledge there if I need it. CSS is something any budding website designers really need to know in this day and age to keep up with the competition in my opinion. Once you’ve grasped the basics of CSS though, the rest is easy enough to learn and you’ll be surprised about the possibilities.

I’ve also been working a little on my portfolio website (there's only a logo to stare at), and just messing around with some more CSS styling. After I took a look at it the other day I thought to myself “wow, this is rubbish” and took it offline to work on another design. That’s just something to fill spare time really, or of the little I get. It will most definitely be put on the back burner until the next holiday now.

I’m eager to get back to college and carry on learning something I love doing.

Roll on Wednesday.
