Tip of the Day

Oh, yes, I'd like to announce the first "Tip of the Day". Every day, I'll post a new tip on something for developers that can be helpful.

Don't format with the <font> tag.

Many people use the font tag. It is a popular HTML tag and is easier than CSS, but it will be removed in the future from HTML (yes, and the latest browsers most likely won't support it anymore) and is not recommended by W3C. And we want our websites to be "cleanly coded", no? So if you want to style, don't forget that there is CSS out there. Like I said in an earlier blog post, CSS3 overpowers the non-standard "marquee" element.

So, I'm just telling you. No, I'm not making this up. W3Schools, the biggest developer site, says so. All styling will be done with CSS.
