Day 161: "HTML & CSS," by Jon Duckett

All right, I'll do the website after I finish this book, in case I want to apply more of the HTML5 on my site, and just to see if I can learn a bit more that will allow me to add some features to the site.  The site's going to be deploying live, and it's more work to deploy and make changes to a live site, so I want to make sure I've got a good product before it's deployed.

I'm up to pg 393 of the book now, and I'll stop there today.  It's been a great refresher so far, my goal is to finish the book tomorrow and perhaps the webpage as well.

I went over the float and clear properties, which was great, as well as the z-index, positioning, fonts, colors, and many other HTML and CSS basics.  My blog notes on the book are sparse, but that's because most of the content is material I already understand and have actually blogged about earlier.
