Bye, Bye, Bye to tables?

No, *NSYNC has not teamed up with the W3 Consortium. Just my little way of saying there is no need for tables anymore in web design. With the adoption and universality of CSS, HTML tables and spacer GIFS are a waste of space - downloaded space, that is. One CSS makeover actually reduced a web site’s home page from 40KB to just 15KB! Check it out - this article breaks down the whys and hows.

So when will I “take the plunge”? Well seeing as I have to move my web site over to a new host and actually PAY for my bandwidth, I’ve got some converting to do. This summer, (once I get my now spyware-free desktop back), I will clean up my online act by converting my HTML galleries to Flash slideshows, eliminating any javascript (it’s SO old!), and converting my tables to pure CSS. Sigh. I love this stuff!
