Coding Clean and Semantic Templates.
a good article. so many times a woman applies for membership on the mailing list, I look at their portfolio, and I see “div-itis” and yet they say they know CSS. If they did, they’d not have a whole article written just for them. Most just allow Dreamweaver to do their styles for them, you can see it in “style1″ “style2″ that reside in their headers, or worse yet, the inline styles that DW can do, and all those divs. Yes DW is a great tool, but KNOWING what you are doing with it, KNOWING how to code, is what being a professional web designer is all about. It is what separates you from the hobbyists who use DW (used to be Frontpage) and hang out a shingle selling “web design” that is crap code and 1990′s style. I see far too much of this. CODE CLEAN. CODE SEMANTICALLY. DAMMIT

Amen, sister.
I still can’t get over the designers who brag about their perfect code – who are obviously using front page and tables. Tables for pete’s sake. That’s not perfect code… perfectly awful maybe, but certainly not semantic or valid.
