As explained over here I am going to start doing a link of the day thread for each month.  The kicker here, and I hope you like this, is that each month will have a different theme.  This month's theme is...

CSS!

Let the linking begin!

Great start for a new year Mitch! I've been using W3Schools a bit of time now myself. Started with their html coarse, then xhtml and now working on the CSS. I like all the inter-active lesson parts where you can insert code and see the results also. Very helpful. When done with studies, you can also register for their certification.  Thumbs Up

Thanks for the great thread Mitch!

Regarding the W3 CSS Validation, it is helpful to set up a Bookmarklet to validate the CSS for the current page. Put this in the Bookmark Location field:
javascript:void(window.open('http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri='+window.location.href,'','width=800,height=900,status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=yes'));

Likewise, the same thing can be done to validate HTML:
javascript:void(window.open('http://validator.w3.org/check?uri='+window.location.href,'','width=800,height=900,status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=yes'));
