And building a website using CSS is much easier than you think. Besides, you don’t need specific applications. You just need a text editor to edit CSS files and a web browser to view changes.

We are a bit slow these days because of the vacation season. And we also have to do taxes.

Meanwhile, what we are currently working on is a video tutorial series consisting of, perhaps, 6 of them, in which we will show you how to build a website with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

You may say, “Hey, I’ve got RapidWeaver.” Oh, yeah? Forget about RapidWeaver. You won’t need it to build a simple but nice website design. We only use Adobe Fireworks 8 (or any graphic application) and BBEdit (or any text editor including BBEdit Lite, NotePad and TextEdit). In a matter of just 20 minutes or so, you can build a simple website design like …
