You also brought up writing a book. That leads me to wonder if you
can write.
What is not clear about "sightseeing" instead of "siteseeing"? The
punctuation errors are in sentences containing parenthetical clauses
or what should be parenthetical clauses.

When you post a linking URL in a newsgroup, your web site is no longer
private. You are inviting viewers by including the site in your sig.
If you are considering writing a book, or co-authoring a book, your
attention to detail would be important. Most errors in writing html
are caused by missing details. I wouldn't want to buy a book that
teaches html written by someone who thinks that details are
unimportant or take a course from someone who thinks details are
unimportant.
I'm sure you know the subject, but my advice to hook up with a good
Editor if you decide to write about the subject still stands.
