Graphic design is only one part of web authoring and quite a small
part at that.

How the hell would you know that? You can't just judge a sites
functionality by the way it looks, in fact if you can use the site
without a screen or mouse and access all the functionality, then it's
a well designed site and if it looks good graphicly then your bloody
good!.

The above quote proves you have NFI idea about what your doing! As I
said graphic design is only one part of web design. Look up the
seperation of content and presontation and you might get more of an
idea of what many of us know already.

Might I remind you at this point that the site you mention as being
"good" actually has over 100 HTML validation errors and it's a
tutorial site, perthetic really.

Read what I wrote above regarding graphic design on the web, then read
it again!!

I need to point the fact yet again that the entire point of the W3C
specs on HTML and CSS are actually a messure of makeing sure that
sites do actually work! I know it's a shock but otherwise why the hell
do you think browser makers would bother too support them. Opera have
members of the W3C on the committee.
