I decided to try out the HTML and CSS tests as well because I found it more helpful than reading. How did you put that field in your blog?
Despite that fact that HTML and CSS are basic, it's something new for me to try. I'm pretty excited about learning this stuff.
I thought that the tutorials were great. I especially liked how you could change their examples and see the effect right away. The exact typing skills were something I noticed. As a child of the 80's when the only computers used DOS no typos were tolerated either. The CSS article was a little harder to understand, but I'm glad I know it's there when I get to that point. Now I'm just excited to try and create a web page!
I also found myself scrolling down into ads almost every page in the html tutorial. The first couple pages I was wondering if this was part of the page or if I missed the next button. While I understand ads are necessary to these free tutorial sites, a little separation would be nice - at least a line break.
