Advantages: So cool

Disadvantages: Some of it's too advanced for me right now ....but I can work on that

I can't even remember where I heard about it - but I went there and now you have to go there too.

If you're a webmaster, trainee webmaster, aspiring webmaster or are even maybekinda thinking about designing a website, you must vist A List Apart - For People Who Make Websites. (alistapart.com). Part magazine, part mailing list - with over 10,000 web maker members.

This site has style. It looks good, it feels good, it WORKS. Fabulous design, (and in the design stakes I like the fusion of form and function - not just pretty). There are some great articles - check out 'Usability Experts are from Mars/Graphic Designers are from Venus'.

There's some real techie stuff too - like 'Validating XML' but accessible and useful articles for the novice too - like the 'Design Tricks' and 'Fear of Style Sheets' series. You can look beyond the browser too with 'Technologies to Watch'.

Previous issues and discussions are available for browsing and there's a new issue out every Friday (only not right now as they're moving - their previous host chucked them out because of their seriously heavy traffic).

Do look at the Design Competition section - it's over now but the judges comments are illuminating and if you visit some of the ranked winner's sites - you'll being weeping gently into your dog-eared copy of 'HTML for Complete Bozos'

II feel inspired, entertained and uplifted - it was a quasi-religious experience - and now I'm a believer.

So, grab your tamborines, brothers and sisters, and join me by the river - I'll be the one redesigning my site for the third time in the last 2 months .....
