That's great, Iago! Thanks, the "search" is perfect now. :D

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.

They already did. That was xHTML and CSS. Now everyone's moving to HTML5.

Yes, it's called "learn css, xml and html first and just tweak it a little".  :o

Like most coding there doesn't seem to be anything great for initial education on HTML. There is, however, a basic way to start. Start a premade blog that will let you modify your code directly. Then you just keep playing with it, googling how to do things, and continually breaking it until you get it right. That's pretty much how I started. Getting your hands dirty with it seems to be the best way to learn. Once you have a general grasp of how that goes you'll understand pages like these:

Thank you, Aakaakaak, you have my undying gratitude.....and my sanity, or what will be left of it.  Now...if I don't return from these sites, here's a letter to my family.  :)

Thanks, Iago! I appreciate all the headaches that must come with running a board like this. Thanks for taking the time to tweak things a bit.

Yup!  We upgraded to the newest SMF software for added protection against spam, plus a few other perks.  We'll post the details of what's different later today.

It's not working very well with Firefox 5.0.1  I'm only getting 2 posts per page and the second one is blacked out so I have to highlight it to read.
