So you wanna be a CSS coder? Huh!…

First, you have to buy a weird or leet domain name and make a site there. No content, but who cares. Just put an underconstruction orange, or tomato, or dead fly.

Then you need some clients, so – advertise. It wouldn’t be wise to practice design on your own site, wouldn’t it? Well, find some victims to practice.

Cssmarks

Update your bookmarks with: www.alistapart.com, www.cssbeauty.com, www.stylegala.com, www.useit.com, www.pixelgraphix.de, webstandard.kulando.de, etc.

Then you can start learning. So, go to www.w3.org/Style/CSS.

I do not know much about CSS, but I know CSS coders prefer http://domain.com adresses.

They do not like www’s.

No www, please…

That is not bad, but it would be if you promote your site few times with, and than few times without www. That is mistake.

You should know that Google and other search engines are considering domain.com, www.domain.com, www.domain.com/index.htm, www.domain.com/index.html as four different pages and you don’t want that. So do not mix them and use only one of them.

Anti www rewrite rule

If you are really a www hater, you can put this tree lines in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule .* http://domain.com/ [L,R=301]

Of course, you should change ‘domain’ with your domain name and put that file in your web root. And than, if someone type www.domain.com, he will be redirected to domain.com without www.
