		<description>I really like the logo and the layout.  Very inspiring.  I especially like how you played with the word &#039;Seattle&#039; and &#039;eat&#039;.  Sorry for the late comments, but just discovered your site, c/o David Cole.</description>

		<description>Hi Tsai, 

If you are just beginning I think the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/HTML-XHTML-Sixth-Elizabeth-Castro/dp/0321430840&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Visual QuickStart Guide&lt;/a&gt; by Peachpit would be a good choice. It takes you through lessons but is designed in a way that makes it a good reference tool as well. 

I also recommend any books by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=eric+meyer&amp;x=0&amp;y=0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Eric Meyer&lt;/a&gt;. He is a great writer that really helps you understand the concepts he&#039;s teaching.

Above all, I recommend &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lynda.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Lynda.com&lt;/a&gt; video tutorials, particularly Eric Meyer&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lynda.com/home/ViewCourses.aspx?lpk1=95&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CSS Web Site Design&lt;/a&gt; The tutorial itself is a few years old but the concepts still apply. In general I think videos are great because you can not only watch how the instructor does something, but you can always stop and rewind if you didn&#039;t quite understand, or review the same video later to refresh your memory. 

I hope this helps – good luck with everything!</description>

		<description>Thanks! I have a few more illustrations like this in the works. I&#039;m curious to see what other cool tools or techniques I discover while developing them.</description>
