Going back over ancient ground...

Once upon a time, I used to have a couple of blogs that I'd built from scratch using HMTL. They weren't anything to look at, but I was still very proud of my (brief, amateur) webmistress status.

The other day I decided to start learning more about at least one of the new languages we will be looking at in DMT at www.w3schools.com. I figured XHTML would be a good place to start, being under the impression that I knew HTML. Just for a laugh, I thought I might quickly do the HTML test that they had a link to...and got back a mark of 60%!! And a recommendation to 'Study harder'!! Excellent...not! As it turns out, the version of HTML that I used to play with was not the current version (4.01) and on top of that, it had been a while since I'd used it... *sigh* back to square 1, HTML all over again (at least refreshing is easier than learning from scratch).

This being said, I was pleasantly suprised to find myself OK about having to submit our first project in XHTML - especially as we were given the template! Once I saw it up on the screen, and could basically follow it, I breathed a deep sigh of relief. If we'd been asked to write it from scratch at this point, it would have been a different story altogether...
