Great list! CSS gave me a lot of trouble a few months ago (and still would be giving me trouble if I needed to use it right now).

Great idea, Char.
There are tons of things I want to learn, and learning every day. The most challenging part for me is finding time for all that learning ;-)

Thanks for the mention, btw :-)

This week I ditched Blogger and set up my own hosted DotNetBlogEngine - I have to say it’s much better having compelte control!

Thanks for the inclusion, Char. This is a really good list you’ve put together. I hope it continues to grow. And perhaps I’ll have a few more things to add to it.
