OK, I'll admit it. I use tables for the design of my website and just about everything else. I plead innocence: the ugly standards war between Netscape, Microsoft, and the standards bodies left me unable to code in any other way. Until now, maybe. This presentation can be a quick read or a detailed resource - it touches page design lightly, but provides deep background and numerous links to quality source materials (I know, because I recognize a bunch of them). The big challenge is getting past the incredibly ugly fourth page - it looks like you've left the site, but you haven't. Just look for the 'Next' link in the lower right-hand corner of the page and put the ugliness behind you. It's worth continuing.
