Welcome to Jewels Web Graphics

In my ongoing quest to learn my proposed trade of web development, I make daily travels through the web-dev blogosphere, reading as many useful articles as time permits. Today, I was directed to this website which was new to me, Friendly Bit. This is a website about Web Development, and under the tutor section, I came across this article:
Beginners guide to CSS and Standards.
A few people have been talking to me about the difficulties of moving away from tables, and putting all their styles into a style sheet, recently. I think this article is an excellent place to start, as it guides you through the process of building a simple css stylesheet and basic html template, to create your first standards based website.
I wholeheartedly recommend all prospective webmasters to go and read it, as you might just as well learn how to do it properly from the start, instead of having to unlearn bad habits later.
And even if you have learned a few bad habits, (nested tables and spacer gifs, anyone? ), you can always reform yourself, can’t you?

WasP stands for the Web Standards Project.
They are now launching a WasP Task Force, and want to introduce a more open, inclusive WasP, so that you and I can get more involved. How?

It involves increasing the text size on your browser.

The JWG website is in the process of moving webhosts, (not by choice, sadly!), and each section is being moved/upgraded in turn. –> Done!
The main blog section is now functioning relatively correctly, but unfortunately the resources directory was unable to be moved in its current form, and needs a total re-install and upgrade using new software.–> Done!
JWG Tutorials can now all be accessed via their own index page on the blog, and the main site map.
I will of course be working tirelessly on restoring the links and resources directory as soon as possible.–> Done!
Thank you for your patience and understanding while areas of the site are inaccessible/broken.
Don’t you just love moving house???

::UPDATE::
I now believe that I have managed to restore all sections of JWG to their former glory, in our new home.
Please dont hesitate to email me, or add a comment here if you find anything still doesnt work as advertised.
Thanks again for bearing with me during this fraught time!
