Couple quick notes from highly useful daylong seminar.
Eric & Holly took a page all the way down and built it all the way back up, using the modern tools of XHTML 1.1 and CSS (1). Good time had by all!
Unfortunately, the key 21 pages of good stuff going over every detail of the original HTML page, the CSS, and the re-built XHTML page are available only on paper, not electronic.
At any rate, highly instructive to see the innards of the "transitional" re-make--a task awaiting many a website...
