The Saga Continues

:Who is this guy part II:

Oddly enough if you build a fire you are left with few choices. Either you continue to fuel it, or you douse the flames and move on. Still needing that warm fuzzy feeling of a satisfied curiosity, I hung around to throw more fuel on the fire. Learning CSS "cascading style sheets" seemed the next logical step. Not wanting to continually harass Rhino and fairly confident in the knowledge he had already provided, I was off to the book store. It was surprising to see how many books there are on the subject of CSS, and after a couple of hours of scanning through them, I finely made my decision. I purchased "CASCADING STYLE SHEETS - THE DESIGNER"S EDGE" by Molly E. Holzschlag. I found this book to be an easy read, simple to follow and understand, and logically organized. Confident I made a solid investment, and armed with this new knowledge I began to incorporate it into my documents. While its been said "a rolling stone gathers no moss". Its also true a snowball can cause an avalanche. In the process of being further educated by Molly's book I was introduced to another author and CSS Master Eric Meyer. Thanks to this added piece of information, I may consume a small forest in the need to fuel the fires of curiosity. Much of this site was inspired after a visit to Eric's complexspiral demo page. I was intrigued by its simplicity and style, the layout, a snap to navigate. I decided this was the look I wanted for my site, I took the code and adapted it to fit my needs. The credit for the style, look and navigation of this site goes to Eric. Reflecting back on my purchase, I had originally narrowed my decision to two publications. Molly's and one by Eric Meyer, titled, "Eric Meyer On CSS". My final decision was based solely on what I could afford to spend. Otherwise I would have purchased them both. I highly recommend either one, or both of these publications to any novice wanting to learn CSS. Thanks to Molly and Eric I am developing a new skill, allowing me to produce better documents. They also introduced me to WEB STANDARDS which made all the knowledge my friend Rhino shared with me, make sense.

Where does it all end? The more I learn, the more I realize how much there is, still to learn. The WEB is a dynamic place, forever changing and evolving. Standards and coding languages are in a constant state of development. There will always be something new to fuel the fires of anyone's curiosity. It would seem that I get satisfaction from re-assembling documents after I have taken them apart. What a concept!
