Designing with Web Standards
Jeffrey Zeldman
Quite simply a book that will change the way you create websites. I don’t often say that, but in this case it’s true. I generally ignore most “Web Design” books because they have little or no value to me, but this one is very different.
Zeldman begins by explaining why we should create websites in a standard way, and why it’s so important for the future. The second half of the book is how to do it. If you ever wanted to truly understand css, rather than just dabble, this book will teach you the difference between your divs and ids, relatives and absolutes.
Go and buy it, it’s cheap and invaluable.

Functionality of the site includes sms, email and interactive tv voting plus quotes, cartoons, previous editions of the programme which is streamed, also “ask an mp” section by which you can find out your mp for your constiuancy and then ask them a question - quite clever really!
Watch this space for the upcoming launch of “Just up your Street” and the new BBC Wales Homepage.
