I design most of my sites based on tables with an external CSS style sheet attached. Some people use div tags combined with internal CSS code almost exclusively to get the same result. Anyone know which is better? I’m good at working with tables, and I suck with divs. I’m slowly learning how to hand code div tags, but I don’t know how much time I should spend learning this particular method…
I just checked, and Blogger uses div tags where I’d use old-fashioned br tags… And, I got an error when I went to post this, saying “Your HTML cannot be accepted: Tag is not closed: DIV” Hmmm. Seems divs might not be so bullet-proof.
I got to play with the Sioux City renowned Smokin’ Clams last Saturday. I played with the Clams for years and years in the early-mid oughts. It was fun to be able to play in their “reunion gig.” We had people fly in from Washington State, Texas, and a few other places just to play the one gig. It was a fun band to be in, and it was fun to see everyone again last Saturday!
What a cold spell. We’ve been seeing -25, in some places near here -30 temps. It’s warmed up to -15 now… Wouldn’t be quite so bad, except it keeps snowing. Blich.
I hear one more conversation start, “Yeah, it’s a bit chilly out there, huh” followed by the inevitable “Yep, kinda brisk, ain’t it,” I’m gonna strangle ’em both. When you get below eight or ten degrees, it’s just plain cold. When you get down under ten below, it’s real cold.
Oddly, I’m hearing complaints from friends of mine in other parts of the country as well, and I don’t feel the need to compete. “Man, it got down to 38 degrees last night!” Well, we’d need to warm up 53 degrees just to get UP to 38 degrees… But if you’re used to sixty, thirty-eight is downright cold. It’s all relative; it’s all what you’re used to…

I was always taught that as much as possible you should separate content from style. That way you can edit one without affecting the other. So external CSS is better. I, however follow the “whatever gets the job done” rule.
I was actually having a formatting problem in Blogger just the other day as it insisted on formatting my first paragraph differently to the rest and I realized it was down to its blatant refusal to insert DIV tags at the start of that first paragraph. Dumb thing. I added the extra set of tags and voila! Perfection.
