SitePoint Teaches Web Design The Right Way in New Book

SitePoint Pty. Ltd. (sitepoint.com), provider of fun, practical 
and easy-to-understand content for web professionals, today 
announced the  launch of "Build Your Own Website The Right Way 
Using HTML & CSS" by Ian Lloyd.

"Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML & CSS" is ideal 
for first-time web designers who want to learn the basics of HTML
and CSS, to build modern, standards-based websites that work
across different web browsers and are accessible to disabled
users.

The book includes:

-A beginners' guide to XHTML and CSS
-Information on choosing a web hosting company
-A guide to creating and optimizing images for the web
-Instructions on adding web stats and search functionality
-Advice on how to add a blog to your site
-A thorough XHTML tag reference

"I wrote the book with my sister in mind as a potential reader," 
says Ian Lloyd, the author of the book. "She uses the web 
regularly to buy show tickets, books, or check weather 
forecasts, but she doesn't know the first thing about 
HTML, CSS, or web standards."

"We hope that this title goes a long way in teaching new web
designers the right way to do things from the start," said
Mark Harbottle, CEO of SitePoint. "Ian Lloyd did a great job
of making the information in the book easy to understand for
novices, without skimming over essential details".
