In case you didn't know (because I didn't), HTML is going to way of the dodo, to be replaced in the future with XHTML. XHTML is pretty similar to its predecessor, but it is much more strict. More importantly, XHTML is supposed to separate style from content (in other words, no more formatting with tables!), and because of this, XHTML is much more flexible in how webpages can be designed. In the spirit of things, I took a little time to redesign my homepage with XHTML 1.0 (transitional), using CSS2 for all styling (and I didn't have to use a single < TABLE > tag). I didn't know a lick of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) before starting this, and I'm really impressed at how simple the HTML becomes.
