Molly Holzschlag is a web author. Today I got a link to one of her web sites, and a link from there to the accessibility guidelines lifted from the WAI.

Her website is instructive, too. Check out the source code; you will notice she has a linked style sheet designated for design and an @import style sheet designtated for layout. The first one handles fonts families, sizes, colors and the like and is read by nearly all browsers, while the second one is ignored by older browsers that don't get the @ import thing... and that contains the layout features which newer browsers can deal with. You can tell that layout is featured in a style sheet because the central portion, the main content, appears first in the code, then the material for the left navigation and last the material for the righthand links. ONly CSS positioning can do that for you.

I need to read up on @import .. it's not something I understand or have used myself, just read about it on the hwg lists.

It's not at all hard to eliminate the FONT tag and replace it with css styling that makes your life as a HTML'er far easier.

A little more tricky is replacing the TABLE tag with CSS positioning.

Blogger FAQ blog Kate Nepveu's How to Add Your Blog to an Existing Page, in Eight Easy Steps:
Click on "Template" (across the top of the screen when you're editing your blog).
Copy the code in your current template (and your archive template, under "Archive") and paste it into a text file. Save it somewhere safe in case you run into problems.
Copy the code for your current page. Paste it into Blogger. (Don't forget to update your archive template, if necessary.)
Add the Blogger tags where you want to posts to appear (use your old template as a model).
Save your template by clicking on the button at the bottom of the text area.
Publish.
Look at the updated blog. Do you like it? If so, republish your archives, too. If not, replace the new code with your backed-up old template.
Let us know if you run into problems along the way--error messages, template comes out wrong (give URL and the template code), etc.
