I had to learn how to make a website in 1996, in order to publish the first www.brasil.gov.br version. Siegel's book was my first Amazon's purchase. #InvisibleTables and #SinglePixelGIFs became my main tools, and now I can understand why it took so long for me to get into #CSS. #HTMLterrorism was really something!!
