Am I really learning this stuff?

I think so, then I look at a slickly designed page and think, "I'll never understand"

My new motto is a quote I read in an ole Lynda Weinman book...
Web Design isn't hard, but good Web Design is. Of course that sentence ends in a preposition so my 8th grade english teacher is probably rolling over in her grave....

Anyway you know what I'm trying to say.

Now that I'm getting the basics, I guess what is next for me is applying it practically in my everyday design work.
