A few words before we begin the tutorial. First, my apologies as this tutorial is ageing fast. As is HTML! The html files I created for this tutorial a bare year ago are already showing problems when run under IE8, thank you so much Microsoft! If you can switch your browser to a compatibility mode or use an older browser it should all still run, but I have found at least problems in varying text colors without CSS. There may be other issues too. If your colors don't change in the font examples, it's unlikely to be anything to do with your vision.
Second, you may wish to consider starting your education with XHTML first before HTML. If you start with HTML you will probably have to end up upgrading all your files at some point. All the files in this directory were written in HTML and I haven't the heart to change them all yet. Starting with XHTML at the outset may be a better way for you to go.
This tutorial is an attempt to help web programmers to understand the
issues they need to know, in an easy going manner that I hope
is readable and occasionally entertaining. Dezigning is not affiliated with the W3C in any way,
so please consider this website as mere heresay and not part of any official standards body.
Ok, enough chat. Time to knuckle down and study.
