Well, Macworld09 is come and gone. And in spite of all the dour and dire predictions, I had a great time. My students in the seminars were great. They put up with my bad jokes (which, like wine, were all good after the third glass), and I think we made some progress and learned things. And my guitar design was a hit too. The image below shows Paul Kent, the IDG VP in charge of the whole show, playing the guitar he commissioned me to create.
My recommendation of the month: If you're struggling with CSS, and you find it as much of a drag as I do, then check out Webassist's SiteAssist Pro. It's a great plug in for Dreamweaver, that lets you create CSS sites, with or without templates, and with an ease of use and great clean code. -nuff sed.
