True. But it gets one up and running. I agree about un-learning
deprecated material, too, but it's kind of tricky to try and teach
CSS to people who don't have a clue about HTML, and the first thing
they want to do is use a boatload of fonts and colors. The htmldog.com
tutorial "solves" this by ignoring fonts and colors, etc. in its
beginner tutorial.

Yes, Barta *should* update pagetutor. It would be very interesting to
see how he would get around this problem.
