Bloggers Don’t Let Your Children Grow Up to Be Journalists
Powazek makes some very good points that the ‘We want to be journalists, too’ crowd should listen to…
At work, I’m getting to teach a basic CSS course for our producers.
I had a blast teaching advanced copy editing/basic newspaper design when I was in [grad school](http://www.journalism.missouri.edu/), so the chance to teach again is great!
The trouble I’m having is how to boil CSS/structural XHTML down to a 3-hour course. The target audience is our producers, who in addition to focusing on content, also tend to do a fair amount of design.
I’m starting off with the quick points of how to write valid HTML, then how to write it structurally, the question is how deep should I go into CSS. Once could quickly get mired down in cross-browser insanity, box-model hacks, etc.
Right now my plan is teach them text styling first, and then follow it up transitional layout skills (using minimal tables to control layout).
Has anyone else out there run up against a similar problem? Any suggestions?
Great googely mooggely, I’ve been trying to find/cook up something like this, and here it is, and for Python!

By day, I'm a product manager serving a group of fantastic engineers at Square.
By night, I fight crime and solve mysteries with a robot pal of my own creation.
