I have been using CSS as far back as I can remember but it seems like I have not been using it effectively (slap wrists). The next few links could literally change the way you design websites - especially the "the noodle incident" link. Using the CSS on that page, you can see how you could build website's without the use of tables. This method does work well on simple layouts like a 3 column website but may be a challenge on more complicated sites and if you do choose this method, your WYSIWYG would not be so when editing in Dreamweaver,

With the examples below, have a look at the site with CSS disabled/enabled to see what's possible - you can use the developer tools extension with Firefox to disable the CSS.
www.thenoodleincident.com
www.alistapart.com
www.mezzoblue.com
www.glish.com

Don't forget that you should really be designing sites for search engine robot userbility too - not just people - Do a search for SEO to see what I am talking about.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    Tables are good... for tabulate content, but the real thing is with CSS :)
