When I started my website back in January, I didn't know anything at all about HTML. I gave myself a two-night crash course from a site on the web, then built the page. Now, months later, I've improved, the page has become a site, and I know next to nothing about HTML rather than nothing at all.

No, actually I've learned quite a bit over the last several months. Having tried out doing a few tables now, I'm getting the hang of it, so over the last couple of days I've done one thing I would like to have done right from the start. It required knowing how to do tables.

I overhauled the Girlschool tab page, putting the song title links in a list beside the album covers rather than underneath them. This way everything isn't running just in a column right down the middle of the page. I wanted to have the titles beside the images right from the beginning, but I didn't know how to do it.

I went on to do the same thing with the rest of the page, as well, setting up the Links section by tables. It allowed me to get rid of all my "cheats" on that page. Not knowing how to space things initially, I'd just do it by separating things (two images, for example) with a dotted line, then coding the line to be the same colour as the page background so that it didn't show on the page. Not exactly correct HTML, but effective enough! (And no, if you're wondering, I don't use that same method to put subliminal messages on my pages, as I hear some sites do. You're welcome to highlight the pages or look at the source coding and check for yourself.  )

This is what the re-vamped Girlschool Tabs page looks like. It looks a lot the same, but, as mentioned, the song titles have been moved up beside the album covers.
