 The OP isn't claiming to be an authority on HTML,
 they're claiming to be an authority on the violin webring.
 
 The fundamental guiding principles of the web are these:
 
 2.   Some technical stuff.
 1.   Easy access to publishing.
 
 Now your point is a good one as regards #2. The idea of some of the
 nearby posters updating their "web authoring guides" is indeed
 horrible. But what do we do about #1 ?  Are _you_ ever going to have
 time to post joining instructions for the violin webring?  Otherwise
 are you really advocating that the violin webring should be abandoned
 because there's no-one connected with it sufficiently skilled in HTML
 minutiae to describe it perfectly?   The rainbow ruler GIF and animated
 under construction banners were some terrible old sites in technical
 terms, but I'd rather see them around than have an empty gap because
 there's no-one "sufficiently certified" and also with the interest in
 violins to build their pages.
 
 To the OP - your page isn't perfect, but even an imperfect page is
 always better than nothing. Stay tuned and maybe someone will continue
 to assist you getting it spot-on.
