More HTML

Still on the search for online tutorials, I have found InformIT Network from SAMS. This one promises HTML 4 in 24 hours!

It also says that all code in the examples are compatible with XHTML, so I'll give it a try.

Distractions

Well, I started the SQL tutorial here: - it seems straightforward enough so far, although I only got to page 4 before I got distracted when I went off to make sure I had SQL installed on my computer.

Like browsing a dictionary, it is far too easy to leave the path of righteousness and follow interesting leads, which is how I ended up downloading the demo version of Acorn.

Brilliant! I have tried tackling the Gimp. I have waded through many frankly disappointing You Tube tutorials. And it's too complicated when I only really need to clip and merge images (so far). So, finding Acorn has been a happy accident. It is clear and simple to understand as you'd expect from flyingmeat. And although the tutorials are a bit short, they present the fundamentals clearly.

I will learn as I go and am looking forward to discovering the advanced features later.

Meanwhile, I have a header image to make.
