I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to build a decent looking web site, or more accurately a WordPress theme, using CSS. And now I find out, at least from some people’s opinions, building a web site with tables is like working in the stone age of the net.

That’s just great, I have more than 600 pages of content online that is full of tables, nested within tables and so forth. Believe me, I have lots of nestedness out there in cyberspace, enough to supply a bird sanctuary. So now I’m learning that nested tables aren’t the best thing to be doing for SEO practices.

Why didn’t somebody tell me this? Trying to learn something like CSS from the very beginning is quite frustrating. I know tables. I don’t know CSS. I don’t even have a clue.

It’s like I’ve just stepped into an alternate universe that works backwards…only when I’m getting close to a solution. I think I’ve just about got this CSS, WordPress thing figured out, I find a link in the WordPress Codex that looks like it has just the info I need…and the link is broken.

Or, Or, Or, I look through 350 templates, and find the exact one I want, boy that looks great, that’s the one I want, finally one that looks good, click…click…click, GREAT, ANOTHER BROKEN LINK!!!

So with my 600 pages of tables that need to be replaced and this new blog network I’m trying to start, all I have to do is persevere. What else am I going to do?

I picked up Blogging For Dummies by Brad Hill and that’s helping me a little, but it just seems like there’s this invite only crowd when it comes to WordPress, CSS and blogging and I haven’t received an invitation yet.

Pressing on,
