Hmm...sounds like a good O'Henry story....  :-)

>From this student:

I began studying HTML this Spring to prepare for a possible career change.  
Over a period of six evenings, I took Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced 
HTML at a local computer businesss school.

The curriculum worked for me and was structured generally as follows:

Beginning - Web sites, basic tags, font manipulation, lists, links
Intermediate - Inline and external style sheets, placing images, tables, 
frames
Advanced - Forms, scripts

Although style sheets are not completely supported - especially by NN - they 
will be shortly and should be taught and used.  I was lucky enough to quickly 
pick up some freelance work and all the pages I worked on used CSS.  As a 
matter of fact, I was able to pick up on some errors which helped the 
designer who gave me that first break!

Hope this helps....
