we (hopefully) will muster enough guts and venture on creating and designing our first website.

For those who don't fell comfy creating at code level, you can always fall back to Wysiwyg Web Builder at the download section.

For those who have mastered the basics of the cascading style sheet and need to refine their web designing savvy, you may find this site useful:

HTML is no longer used for design, rather just to structure the webpage (markup).

The good practice now is to use CSS for design, and the trend is "table-less" layout, like the Drupal theme we've created in PS.

SD, that was just a feature "hack".  HTML shouldn't have been used for design in the first place.  ^,^'  Speaking of design, elegant webpages depreciate gracefully--a tall order for the busy maintainer.  ^,^'

There was a time when it seemed that the HTML standard was going to require all tags to be capitalized.  Now, the DHTML (which is a mix of XML and HTML) standard requires all the tags to be in lowercase.  For better or for worse, technologies change and people adapt, or vice-versa.  ^.^

Maybe you are referring to XHTML (not DHTML).

XHTML is now the way to go. It's much stricter, but this is what everybody should learn -- because it is the future.

Basic difference between HTML and XHTML:

1. Different DOC TYPE declaration
2. Tags are in lower case
3. All tags must now be closed including

<br >, <hr > and <img >

Oh, yeah . . . XHTML.  What a boo-boo.  Sorry.  Thanks.  ^,^'
I never actually got around to learning DHTML--another example of my intrinsic laziness.

<br />, <hr />, <img />

I guess we are more liable to make mistakes when tired.  ^.^
