The Red Brick Times

I think maybe it's time the ol' RBT had a new look. I'm really tired of this one. Problem is that I'm way busy implimenting a new e-commerce site for my company right now. One site at a time is all I can handle. If anyone else feels like giving it a whirl I'd be happy to help with the Blogger code portion of things. If you know CSS (John? Anybody?) you can build a template from scratch. Or you could create a test blog on Blogger, design your little heart out there, and once it's finished we'll install it here. Your 15 minutes of fame awaits.

Russ,
Assume I'm a Trobriand Islander and have never seen a computer more advanced than an abacus. Where would I start to learn Web Design and coding?

A Trobriand Islander would have to start with some very basic concepts. Let's assume instead that you speak english, know how to use a mouse, and have a working knowledge of folders and how to save/copy a file.

I'd advise you to see what your local community college, vocational school, whatever, has to offer for beginner web designers but mostly what I've seen lately is that they all want to teach a program. Frontpage, Dreamweaver, there's lots of them. All you learn is that particular program, not how html and css really work, and they don't tell you that these programs all expect your web server to be set up in a certain way, one that caters to these programs.

So I dunno. Do some Google searches on terms like "introduction" "html" "css",things like that. html would probably be best to start with. When I get time I'll look around and see if I can find an online tutorial to recommend for you.
