Re: is it all worth it??? CSS Layout
Ha, next step after CSS would be XML I guess. Does Anybody know if I can make my nav from an external XML document. So if I want to change a link on every page all i would have to do is change the link in my xml document?

Re: is it all worth it??? CSS Layout
Omg, that actually just made my day.. I have no experience with PHP - I know a little how it works... but I didn't know it could do that :P... thats such a good reason why I should start to learn PHP haha.

Re: is it all worth it??? CSS Layout
hahaha...and actually there is a better method to accomplish that same effect. Which I use on most of my sites, so that it is easier to maintain. Notice with this one I am using a tag called PHP echo, and I am echoing the title and meta details...I find this to be very effective.

You can. I use a free program called xampp but if you already have a localhost/network then you should be ready to go man!!

Re: Can I make my nav from an external XML document.
I dont know about php but in asp.net for example there is a treeview control which reads from an xml file, also other menu controls which read from xml files, no doubt php does something similar... probably worth investigating.
