Have been working on coding html for the happy site. I am a tables freak; I am also a freak for pretty content & so forth.

That is, pretty in the source code as well as the other shit.

I'm aiming to make this site easy to update and maintain by just pulling down the source code and seeing the comments making it fiendishly clear where shit goes.

Also, going to be making templates where all you have to do is fill in the shit and then it'll be good to go.

Don't go too freaky on the tables. If you like tables, you should love CSS - much more powerful, and much preferred over table layout these days. (I, uh, was one of the folks who helped write the HTML 4, CSS 2, and WAI recommendations with the W3C...)

THe best thing I'd encourage is make the site standards compliant with HTML/XHTML and CSS. Then it should work well, and look good, in IE, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, etc. Even things like Blazer and NetFront on PDAs and the like.

CSS is my friend, though it and I are not too friendly yet, as I have only been mildly introduced.

The reason for the tables involves putting things where they need to be.

Check out the positioning abilities of CSS - you can pretty much do everything tables, or frames, do with CSS. Fun. :-)

(Someday I'll get around to redoing my website and I'll convert everything...)

I'm starting the poking of my nose. It looks interesting. I may have to do some fun redesign.

I'm glad I commented my code.

I did a search and peered at it -- it does look interesting.
