The 'Learn Advanced HTML & CSS' button takes me to a password protected area, I'm guessing that's non-standard behaviour?

Site looks really nice, not got much time to check the content whilst I'm at work but I'll have a better look at it. It certainly seems very clear from the quick scan I had.

This is really awesome work Shay - I love your intro to html and css guide as well, and have used it as a resource for many of my students (they loved it too). Fantastic work. If you ever need help with any piece of this, I'd be more than happy to pitch in.

I noticed one really strange thing - when you hover over any of the circles on the homepage, all the ampersands change font. Never seen this before and I'm sure it can be fixed quickly, just a heads up.

Sorry about that Nicholas, the 'Learn Advanced HTML & CSS' button should be good to go now. Thanks for the heads up!

Let me know what you think of everything once you've had a chance to further check out.

Lovely website! I always kick myself when I'm two weeks into a project and my CSS is starting to get unwieldy.

Keeping CSS rules clean and well thought-out pays for itself in the long run, I know this; yet - for some reason I don't follow my own advice. Hehe.

Edit: Another great website with no fluff and pure awesome content is www.htmldog.com.

I learned about HTML and CSS there when I was a wee lad, helped me grok floats.

Great work! The writing style is clear and easy to understand. Clearly a great deal of work!

If I had my druthers, I'd bump up the contrast just a bit, especially in the code blocks.

Also, just a minor thing: looks like you've used a[src...] in your attribute selector examples when I believe you mean to have a[href...].
