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.
