I've been studying HTML. One of the toughest things for me to grasp has been the relationship between a graphic image and the text that will be near it. For example, some weblogs have a template that surrounds each post with a border. It is still difficult for me to see the relationship between a graphic file that may somehow be "tiled" down the page giving the 'effect' of a border.
Placement of the various macros in the HTML source so that posts wind up looking the way I want them to is really challenging. Of course, I still wrestle with wrapping text around a picture in a post.
I doubt I ever see the day when I can grasp this sort of thing:
Missing the point. Scott Andrew: CSS is for separating structure, not content, from presentation.
People who think CSS is unnecessary because "I store my content in a database" are missing the point. That's great, it lets you reuse your content, but that's only half the story. Using CSS is the other half; it lets you reuse your markup. (That's how my style switcher works -- the markup stays the same, only the CSS changes. Ditto Joe. Ditto Mike.) [dive into mark]
