[CS-FSLUG] Nvu

Wonderful,

to do very much

work" with Nvu and

hand. It has been

When I first started, I made first made the Claw
website, it was 
constructed in OpenOffice.org. I knew nothing about
HTML coding ... and 
it showed. I learned some HTML coding and made a site
by hand about the 
same time I started making websites for other people.
The Lutheran 
Church Website was the first. I'd like to apologise
for the poor quality 
of the site.

Anywho, once I started creating a church website, I
started looking for 
cool websites. I found heal your church website.com
and was directed to 
CSS Zengarden. Then I was a man on a mission to use
CSS and HTML with 
images to create the wonderful sites that I saw there.
I didn't even 
come close.

Well, soon after I found CSS, I discovered a need for
PHP (to 
dynamically load content into a template). PHP was
similar to python and 
c++, so I caught on very quickly. After learning about
color and good 
church website design
(http://www.healyourchurchwebsite.com), I decided 
to makes other people's pages. When I was challenged,
I imporved.

However, form HTML to javascript was 3 years. As the
bible says, "It 
should not be so, my brothers!"  Getting some proper
instruction and 
training (or atleast a mentor) is an absolute
necessity if you want to 
get good fast ... or even avoid the mistakes of a
newbie.
