Some of you may have noticed that the blog has changed color recently, at least in places, and most definitely for the better. That is because I finally gave up on poking things with sticks and decided to sit down and learn CSS the normal way: you know, with things I like to call books. Or rather, what ended up as one book in particular.
As anyone who has ever tried to teach themselves code before, you will know that most books on the subject are either so easy to follow it's almost pretentious:
This is a link. Links are what make the internet work. For the first exercise in this book, open Internet Explorer. . .
Or they're almost impossible to understand, listing entire paragraphs' worth of elements and tags without any sort of description of what they are or even do, just assuming that the reader magically knows all of this already and somehow still needs to read about it in a book.
Anyways, I finally found one that actually works for me: it's easy to follow, has plenty of examples, and lists some really awesome web development tools. In the past fourty-five minutes I have made the blogs look halfway decent and typed a blog post about it.
You're welcome. 
Anyways, it's still a work in progress, of course, but at least something's been done to make the blogs not look like crap. I hope you enjoy them, and as always, feel free to submit any suggestions you may have. I can't promise I'll be able to fulfill them, or even know how to, but I will at least consider any legitimate suggestion offered.
Happy blogging, everyone!
