I know HTML far more advanced than this, but there's always something to learn. I learnt the difference between strong and b, and em and i. I learnt the new standards of adding a / to a self-closing tag (used to think it's unnecessary). But I have a question. What's the difference between id and class?

Damn, I learned HTML but stopped using it. Now my syntax is lame etc. I've got to learn this all over again. CSS I never learned. I'm lazy and would rather study photoshop

Great tutorials, thanks; very clear and helpful to new chaps like me.

I found that the "Sublime Text" download only results in a .exe file (Windows only) and is also only free for a limited evaluation period, requiring the user to purchase a license to continue using it. So, for Mac users there is "Text Wrangler" which seems pretty good as far as I can tell so far; is genuinely free and genuinely for Mac OS X.
