I started with a WYSIWYG editor but the code was a mess.

My son told me not to use tables, I started using them because the editor offered it.

What I do now is to look for samples, try to understand and to modify them for my needs and keep the code clean. This is my first attempt at HTML but in the time before dinosaurs I had to do some coding in machine code without assembler directly in hexcode. Fortunately not much of that and it was all at least 20 years ago.


Deep understanding will come later if at all. Right now I try to build a small library of samples that I understand and can modify.

Especially the navcontainer thing is copied. But I changed it from internal to external css and learned a bit on the way. I also like to play with graphics. Worked with gimp on the backgrounds and buttons.

Thanks for the evaluation.

OK I deleted one of them but the others stay. I keep them in where links point to something completely outside the navigation loop. Thats the Impressum and the external links.
