Comments on: Tables are Bad… Very Bad http://successbeginstoday.org/wordpress/2005/09/tables-are-bad-very-bad/ Inspiring & Motivating People To Success Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:21:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: John Richardson http://successbeginstoday.org/wordpress/2005/09/tables-are-bad-very-bad/#comment-111 John Richardson Thu, 22 Sep 2005 14:49:34 +0000 http://successbeginstoday.dreamhosters.com/wordpress/?p=80#comment-111 Thanks for the reply Adrian. I have just downloaded the new version of Dreamweaver and have found some great third party CSS tools. As a designer more than a coder, I have found CSS somewhat hard to learn. Since I can't see my CSS site in Dreamweaver, I am always having to preview it in a browser. Then there is the whole issue of IE5 compatibility. What has worked for me recently is to pick up a great CSS_XHTML template for Wordpress and modify it. It can be tricky to work with, especially with IE, but the results look great and load very fast. Hopefully I'll have a redesigned site ready to go in a few weeks. Thanks for the encouragement! John Thanks for the reply Adrian.

I don't know about Wordpress. Dreamweaver works just fine with CSS and XHTML. Once you've got past the shock, you'll find using CSS to replace tables far easier. I did.
