Vital Internet-advice

For vastly revamping the site of the NEDERLANDS GENOOTSCHAP VOOR ESTHETICA (Dutch Association of Aesthetics), recently, I made use, as always (!), of Jeffrey Zeldman’s AListApart. Results will be online soon. I also took good advices from:
AvoidingHacks (which taught me how to write code applicable internet-wide, i.e. even by Internet Explorer, without applying too many CSS-hacks–on account of that they are going to stand in my way as soon newer browsers or newer CSS-specifications surface.) The author referred me to:

the Best Practices page at Apple’s Developer web site, which taught me to set up one table to embed my CSS-specified styles further in so as to produce a “liquid web-design”. Also, this freed me of having to position (:absolute, or :relative) all my divs (which proved quite a drawback for IE).

Liquid Web Design: Build it right and it will work no matter what the container.” Which means: visitors who want the fonts of your site bigger or, rather, smaller, will not by changing the font size destroy the website: it will grow with the changes.
