You are apparantly new to usenet as well as new to HTML. Reading the
FAQ posted here each Thursday may help you to understand this group
better. Each group is different; your initial post would have been
great on one of the alt.support groups where helping each other is what
the group is about. This group is a discussion group that discusses
HTML matters. By reading the discussions here, you can learn an awful
lot. As others have pointed out, you asked a bunch of professionals an
obscure vague question. All of the replies, while seemingly cold, were
meant to help you.

What did you expect? Imagine painting your very first painting and
asking to put it in a professional art gallery.

A "free" gift? Not much of a gift.

Pay attention and learn the modern way so you don't have to relearn
like most of us here have had to. There is a large site that still has
my name all over it done in the 1995 methods. Many of the pages were
created back then although the information has been updated.

You can if you want. This is a great place to learn, but you also need
to learn a lot about the way usenet works.

You should be "down on" your choice of education if you find that it is
flawed. I taught HTML and CSS the correct way. I was disgusted to
find out that other instructors teaching the same courses did not even
know what the first line of an HTML document should be (document type
declaration). They had no clue about the W3C or validating code. I
can only guess that there are many schools out there with this kind of
teacher.

Again, this is usenet which you have much to learn about. Threads
morph all the time.
I may seem to be crass and rude too, but my true intent is to help you
understand what you are dealing with.
