I admit to only using CSS for straight forward styling and still rely on Tables for page structure.
I see Freeola also rely heavily on Tables - have you got a plan for moving off them yet? If you are have you any tips?
I keep telling myself I need to catch up but haven't got there yet!

For your new endeavours however, I would implore you to venture into the realms of HTML and CSS. As for tips, no tips apart from Google taught me everything, but if you wanted an example 2 column framework to work with I made this for you.

??? Bit confused by that though. Hopefully Freeola.com is here to stay so at some point you'll also have to consider making the move!?

I need to learn more about HTML5 and CSS3.

I know I'll have to move away from them one day - but they just work! That's why I was interested in Freeola's 'Table exit plan' as they're slightly bigger than me ;¬)
How's your 'learn the language' site going these days? - I remember the posts between you and Garin well. You made the right decision not using Tables as I remember you were going to have 200/300 sub domains - that would have been a lot of work to convert to CSS!
I've read in GC that you've now also got a 'web comic' site these days - hope that's working well for you.

Perhaps it won't be so bad, and XP won't have such a large market share in a couple of years, but I can see IE 8 being the new IE 6 for a long while if it's the latest version XP users can obtain, and having IE 9 on XP would (I think) have ensured a large user base of powerful web browsers.
Either that, or Chrome, Firefox, etc will see their market share go up quite a bit.
Awareness of Twitter is commonplace now, debates on browsers are even coming into the news, it won't be long before my granddad is telling me why I should be using Chrome.
