It is important that you always check your website on another browser, in another OS. In this case Internet Explorer 6 is the biggie. But you can't download IE6 on your mac. So the next best thing is to render it. What does this mean?

Check your site in IE6, withotu IE6!

General information on HTML vs. CMS



This is the PDF that I showed last week in class. It has three parts:

1. Overview of HTML websites and their embedded content.
2. Overview of Content Management Systems and how they talk with Databases and organize loads of content.
3. Wordpress: Content and Design.

Check them out and keep them to refer as reference. They are meant to be just that, as each of the three topics is not an exact science. Always decide which method is most appropriate either per client or personal project.
