I read it the day it was published. I am not sure why you assume I have not read it. I specifically praised them for not using a table-based design and for using a doctype.

Nor am I going to ignore an opportunity—should the Church designers ever come across the post—to educate others on semantic design and declaring background colour. I could have been much more harsh. Hugh,

That is what my post is really about. "This is a time to encourage them to continue, not give them ample reason to reverse course." Kim, you should really read Eric’s post on the new Microsoft home page.

That's what I get for holding back and trying to say good things (e.g. using a doctype, getting rid of tables). Net time I won't hold back. ;-) A little harsh? Crap.
