Live CSS Help

  • Reported by huphtur

I have been idling in #css on EFNet IRC for a while now and it's very interesting (and sometimes disturbing) to see what kind of CSS questions people come up with. Most are about the fact that people have heard that tables are bad and want to switch to CSS but have no idea where to start.

We try to help people out by answering their questions and point them to all the available resources, but if you are an ultimate newbie the amount of information can be rather overwhelming and confusing. Rick Yribe (xfreakaa) and I are working on setting up an FAQ which hopefully should help a lot of CSS newbies.

So, if you are pretty confident with your CSS skills, feel free to idle in #css and help out.

I made nearly the same experience in some discussion forums. Therefore I made a FAQ in German, which is now to be filled with articles. I can recommend for this task the Script phpMyFAQ on www.phpmyfaq.de.

No fear, it's in English, too.
