Upgrading Web skills

Yes, I'm currently learning stuff, Oh like study for 8 hours, yes, I call it study and not just mindless searching through flickr. So what am I trying to teach myself?

Design. I am working on a minimalist project called Te Kupenga I have worked out the process of making the site much bigger, but turning it into a more open document. This will be managed by the creative use of flickr as an image host. This reduces the image process workload of the site as multi sizes are automatically via there service.

So now I am learning how to rework the 2004 Kupenga site into the 2006 design with the use of cascading style sheets. I have found great site for technical information on floats. This site had easy to understand working examples. Like how easy is that to understand. And if things get tough then I could sort it with info on w3c. I have also been learning through the Blogger interface. Might even be able to tidy up this blogs template.

And once that's done I will have to add a RSS news feeder to the site. I think I can manage that with ListGarden RSS Feed Generator Program and by use of RSS FEED Validator

And then maybe a podcast or two? LOL *crazy laughter* or should I post a manic podcast to hear?

Still I am now looking at using active style sheet's, yeah, sounds dodge but it's real web geek stuff. I an going to use different css to change to size of the font from small to large.

And I dream of making a site calledwww.imode.takeme.co.nz or would www.wap.takeme.co.nz be more popular here in NZ.
